Baby it's cold outside

In the spirit of this being the middle of winter, here are some pictures of the middle of winter around the world. CLICK TO ENLARGE:

	Everyone knows that Chicago is the "Windy City" (so named because politicians couldn't stop bragging about the 1893 World's Colombian Exposition). How windy is Chicago? Well, the Drake Hotel used to hang ropes from its side so that pedestrians who were caught in Chicago's notorious winds could hang on for dear life. Here is another incident where a winter storm caused a window-washing rig to come off my former apartment building and crash to the ground, killing three people in cars on the Magnificent Mile. March 9, 2002. More. Click the image to enlarge.
	The Great Wall of China is quite cold in February, but also devoid of the giant tour-groups that normally plague the monument. Feb 14, 2003. Click the image to enlarge.
	A group of Mahayana Buddhist monks in Bhutan "monkeys" around. Photo by Kuensel. Winter 2004. Click the image to enlarge.
