Snow forts (just found slide of them yesterday!, snow Angels, polar bear plunge, ice skating on lake ice, xcountry skiing and downhill skiing, snowmobiling, snow horses, sledding, Ice castle on the lake each winter made by others, sleigh rides, and so much winter fun! Local warnings about the lake to be extra careful and wait for the plugs to be pulled to see how frozen the ice was. Yes those were the days!!! 👍👍👍

Oh and yes, thinking time! The snow fall and packed snow would make it silent and beautiful!!!
