“Photos of ice formations on Toronto’s waterfront have been steadily appearing in the blogTO Flickr pool for about a month or so.

Today’s diversion, via Los Angeles Times: Slideshow of images of the Ice Hotel (a.k.a. Hotel de Glace, near Quebec City), which reopened this week thanks to favorable Canadian winter conditions.
(Timely reminder to Texas and other southern U.S. friends: Our imminent 20-degree temps pale in comparison to those endured by Quebecers.)
