Use the snowball cannon to eliminate red shapes in various ways. But keep all the green shapes safe and collect presents to them. Have fun!

When the birds head south in winter, surfers grab their surf boards and head up to England braving the harsh temperatures to indulge in their favorite sport. Winter surfing is made possible in part by improved wetsuit materials and technology. These gorgeous images will have you yelling out surf’s up as you imagine riding the waves on the British beaches.
The pictures are simply breathtaking. As for me, the mountains look the best in the wintertime. Check out these pictures and see for yourself.
Everyone loves comfort foods esp. during the winter time. Here is a collection of favorites with a few twists thrown in.
Pancakes
If you don’t want your children to play outside in the cold winter time, here is something you can do for them. They will love it!
It happened in Russia. It was an ordinary winter day, and guys were working in their office. Suddenly it flew inside, shocking everybody. Luckily, nobody was killed.
Would you do this at - 36C? I would never do it, I simply couldn't. But these people from a local club in Krasnoyarsk went swimming in the Yenisei River on December 12, while the air temperature was -36C. The Yenisei River goes through portions of northern Russia and Mongolia before depositing into the Arctic. I don’t know how they are doing it, but judging by the look on their faces it can be said that they enjoy it a lot…It’s just crazy! I’m freezing now.
I don’t know where these photos were taken but you have never seen so much snow in your life. It has everything covered and what looks like people trying to dig into their homes. Winter has certainly arrived wherever it is.
Over 500 athletes from 44 different countries from around the world have descended on Vancouver Canada, for the 2010 Vancouver Winter Paralympic Games. Following a separate opening ceremony and torch relay, competitors faced off in five different sports: Cross country skiing, Biathlon, Alpine skiing, Wheelchair curling, and Sledge hockey. The last three are broken down into classes of the visually impaired, standing, and sitting. The Winter Paralympics will continue until the Closing Ceremony on Sunday March 21st.
These photos represent the largely unrewarded work that is done each day at a weather station under some of the most difficult situations imaginable. The weather in Russia in the winter is certainly no picnic especially at 7,000 feet above sea level.
Mother Nature certainly provides some beautiful landscape views as these photos depict. This is especially true in winter. The blanket of fresh snow and partially frozen lakes and streams, somehow gives us a sense of serenity and peace which is priceless.
The photos in this post are old and have obviously been seen by many people, they still do an excellent job of conveying the very atmosphere and realities of winter which is harsh and merciless. In winter, nothing is sacred, not on land or at sea. It is a brutal reality that we all must face every year. Is it any wonder why so many people despise this time of year? On the other side of that coin however is that it does provide some beautiful land and seascape for our viewing pleasure.
There can be no doubt that in winter there are numerous sights that absolutely amaze us and are quite beautiful. As the morning dew freezes on an object the result is that it can be a plethora of visual sights to behold. The wonders of nature never cease to amaze us. It makes one wonder how something like the cold that makes us so uncomfortable can also bring us such pleasure. It is truly due to The Wonders of Winter.

Welcome to Canada
After seeing those pics I’m quite comfortable with winter, we have here: +50,00°F
Very much comfortable :))
I’m sure they’re not all like that but this one does not make you feel like travelling by train in Ukraine, at least not in winter..
Yep, winter is already here… A BMW is under the snow, wow!
This $24 gadget is a big heating slipper in which you can put your two feet. It is USB-powered and will be perfect for the winter. And quite classy for the office :)))
The winter was harsh, cold and snowy.
Now it’s time to say goodbye to it ))
