In honor of our impending return to the Polar North (where it is June -- thank goodness!) . . . some of my favorite pictures from our four years in survival mode.
This is the door that leads to the underground subway, just about 100 yards from our condo. Want proof that it is cold? This is the INSIDE of the door!
I loved this courtyard. I passed it everyday during my underground walk to work. I could always tell how much it had snowed that day by how heavy the table looked!
After an ice storm, I was impressed when I could walk on the top of a foot of snow without going into it! 
Yes that is a car! This day, the Dave and JB drove around downtown helping their fellow medical school compadres dig out of deep trouble!
One thing I regret is not participating in more winter sports. I didn't enjoy snow shoeing, but I really liked cross country skiing!
Courtesy of Brandon -- proof of what happens to bubbles when it is too cold for them to be a bubble. 
Need to run out fast? Do what JB did here in this photo. 
On a rare warm day, JB and I put on shorts to go for a run. We were amazed that we still had legs and also ashamed at how white they had become. 
A nice fall day in the orchard still requires heavy duty winter wear! I may not look cold here but that is because I am forty-seven layers thick!
The view from outside my office in the Guggenheim building. I loved watching it snow through these big windows.In conclusion, a few past posts lamenting my fate in Minnesota:

Hey Wen,

Joan
BRRRRRR....living in the south ALL my life I can't even imagine this kind of weather.
My guess is that you, Wendi, are wearing the red shorts in that pic.
?????
Hope you are having a WONDERFUL trip! :)
BRRR! I DO REMEMBER WHY I LEFT MN!!! The weather was so beautiful when I landed back here in Sac tonight. And I didn't even have to exclaim (like everyone was exclaiming this weekend in MN!)-- it's like this ALL THE TIME. Yay California! But trips to the polar north are definitely worth it to see you guys-- SO GREAT to catch up. I miss you already. DID YOU SEE Matt's pics of the wedding! Holy buckets.
I'm the one in the red. I know I don't shave my legs much in the winter but c'mon! Ha!
Wendi
