Ice Hotel

Yesterday I arrived in Washington DC to what felt like arctic temperatures: -14C. High winds made it feel even colder. Landing felt almost like an amusement ride but our Captain did a great job!

Today was a beautifully sunny blue-sky day, but the high for today was not expected to get above -8C. I had mixed feelings about leaving the hotel but I really wanted to capture something 'wintry' on my camera. Thankfully, I didn't have to go far - when I opened the curtains in my hotel room, I found snow and icicles - INSIDE the closed window! I don't think I've ever seen that before. The room itself was not cold. I DID finally leave my hotel room, but I didn't go very far - it WAS cold!
