Then I read about the cold hard (and rather wet) cash. Last year when we visited Northeast India, we were supposed to go visit a couple of lakes, but couldn't because they were frozen. They were not even allowing people to approach it. Phew! As you know, I am yet to see my first snow! :D<br /><br />I enjoyed this post, even if I am unlikely to go ice-fishing!<br /><br />Hugs, Keetha.
