Decided not to do any physical outdoor activity and go to to the Saranac Lake Winter Carnival. Here's a picture of the ice castle being built. Since it had just rained that week, they were reconstructing parts of it for the big lighting that evening. The best part was watching them literally take the ice out of the water, where bricks of it had been cut and queued up, and then seeing it go almost directly onto the castle... Other highlight of the day - recent alum competing in the fry pan toss. What a weird and quaint day.
