perfect eve for a Lunt

[mihailo]

Here in northern Indiana we just recently received some snow, so what do I think "go walk in the cold, bring your pipe.' boy let me tell you this was probably my best idea in weeks. let me paint a picture of how it was here on campus, there was no wind, almost no sound and almost no people just myself and my pipe.

(attempt at a panorama of campus)

and of course it doesn't flip this one^

anyone else blessed by nights like these?

Yes. The calmness and peace can be astounding, and lead to some fantastic pipe smoking experiences.
The pics do a great job describing the scene. Makes me want to bundle up and get out there.

I savor the way a layer of snow muffles sound, so there is a silence all around, and a softness to any sound that's heard. I grew up in Illinois, so Midwestern weather is familiar to me. When it really got cold, just getting out and walking was exhilarating, like a swim or a workout.

Its almost a refreshing feeling, almost like a good coffee, or a cup of ice water in the morning.

Looks lovely! I have yet to have success with a lunt... I always end up smoking way too fast and hard while walking.

We got a few solid inches of snow here in the Chicago north side. Had a nice, long crunchy walk before the snow blowers hit the sidewalks. No wind, even right on the Lake Michigan shoreline. Had a billiard full of My Mixture 965.
Sometimes I love winter. ::
