I look forward to it.<br /><br />Re your question about the Connecticut River flooding, I don't think it is usually a big issue. The river is wide and slow moving, and the floodplain is pretty wide, so the banks can overflow without much damage in the floodplain. Of course, this year's snowfall throughout New England has been huge, so the spring melt could cause problems. Usually it is the smaller and faster running rivers around here that damage their surroundings when the flooding is atypically bad.Jackhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03323811980627840654noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28981938.post-12110637556965314202011-01-30T15:54:33.418-06:002011-01-30T15:54:33.418-06:00I did find it difficult to photograph the ice scul...I did find it difficult to photograph the ice sculptures. You had to be at the right angle to see the text, if you were too much to one side, the ice was see through and the text was gone. <br /><br />I hadn't been the the parade in many years. If it works out, I'm going to the torch light parade also.Steve Cuddihyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08617072941840879211noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28981938.post-60251839476684353652011-01-30T14:21:11.067-06:002011-01-30T14:21:11.067-06:00"and questioned whether it was fit for human ..."and questioned whether it was fit for human habitation"<br /><br />This answers the question.....jbhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02360120000195750160noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28981938.post-89775822655718916982011-01-30T11:44:42.243-06:002011-01-30T11:44:42.243-06:00That's how you turn icy opinions into ice cast...That's how you turn icy opinions into ice castles!Janethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09187924454780490386noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28981938.post-82744191112121404552011-01-30T11:05:50.204-06:002011-01-30T11:05:50.204-06:00I had heard of the winter carnival but, had no ide...I had heard of the winter carnival but, had no idea it was well over 100 years old.

I didn't know it existed until I read you r post today.<br /><br />I have been to the Sapporo snow festival. It is amazing. You can rent a room in an ice hotel and sleep on an ice bed and get the treatment you would get in a regular hotel. Among other things being carved and cut up. It is amazing.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28981938.post-57050997266541365672011-01-30T08:29:13.100-06:002011-01-30T08:29:13.100-06:00Fun, I bet!
