  1. Dear Merisi, how lovely that New Year's frosting looks in these Viennese views! NYC is suddenly very cold...below freezing. Our overdue wintry weather has arrived. Only rain predicted for the weekend. I'd actually prefer just a dusting of pretty snow. xo

  3. The snow's a great touch. What so often strikes me about photos of your city is how light the architecture feels.
