Those pictures are beautiful. Were the sun shining when they were taken the beauty would have been more spectacular. The sun light, even light reflected by street lights, when caught by the ice chrystals makes one feel as if he/she were walking on beds of diamonds. I love walking during such conditions. The snow crunches under my feet, the air is so clean after having been "washed" by the snow flakes. Once there is an adequate base I love nothing better than to put my skiies on, and go tramping over the fields.
