For those that have never been where you can go for a walk in fresh snow, on a calm, sunny, 25°F day: it is warm enough for just a sweat shirt, sparkling clean snow that muffles all the noise. It doesn't get any better. A walk at night with a full moon makes it almost as bright as day. It's magic, skip the crowds. (Also skip the nights when it is zero and the wind is howling across the plains! That's when you curl up by the fire with a hot spiced wine.)
