Having our first snowfall today in Good Ol' Sconnie. Got to enjoy a cob in the first flakes of the season.
Good thing she doesn't read this or she may get another idea. LOL@05adventurer - Is that a noose in the picture that your wife is dangling over you?
They do have something similar...... They are called ice shanties!!!!!!!! :DIt would be more than a little bit shocking if it were to snow here (although it HAS happened on rare occasion) but still, it does rain and get uncomfortably cold during winter months ... glad you're able to enjoy your pipe in the first flakes of the season, but it just wouldn't work for me ... and, since smoking in the house doesn't work either, I put up a little building in the back that I have tricked up as a sort of combination home office / man cave ... I've got room for a desk, my cigar humidors, my pipes and tobaccos as well as a couple of chairs and a small TV ...
In Wisconsin, you really do need to do something similar ...
