We've tried to take a few shots of people out enjoying the snow (speaking of snow--it is really coming down right this moments--I can barely see the lights beyond the trees outside our window; at least it's not windy!), but often between the thought and the action, the light has failed, so some of these are kinda dark. The spots of light you see on the photos are the reflectors that people wear (except for the top light in the bottom photo--that's actually a parent and a child sitting next to a little fire). Mike and I each have "snap" reflectors that we wear on our sleeves and pocket reflectors that we carry, pinned inside our pockets, and let them dangle when we are walking. There is a picture of a kicksled in the middle photo. Behind the kicksled is the skating area (a soccer field in warmer times). This area is just about 5 minutes from our apartment and lots of people come to ski, sled (it's a very nice long hill--I told Mike I want to get a sled and give it a try before we leave here!), skate, and generally just enjoy the snow. We go through that area to reach the ski paths that take us to the university, and the shopping area across on the other side of the island. Usually on Saturdays we see a lot of dads out with their kids, pulling them on their sleds, teaching them to ski and skate.
