Did you have a white Christmas? If so, I'm jealous! We went to New York City, and you'd think that there we'd be pretty likely to have a white Christmas, but no, all we got was cold and rain. It was an awesome vacation anyway, and we got one beautiful day which happened to be the day we were going to the Statue of Liberty, so that worked out well. And we stayed at a hotel that was right on Rockerfeller Plaza, with the giant Christmas tree and the skating rink, and (unfortunately, since I have a teenage girl) all the 5th Ave. shopping RIGHT THERE. So you can guess where we spent most of our time. ;)

-30 sounds terribly scary. We Southerners bury ourselves under the covers when the temp drops below +30. You are made of hardier stuff than we are!
