There's a bit of magic when the first flakes of snow fall up North. Snuggling into our warmest coats and clothes, mittens and boots come out of storage to help keep the chill at bay. Summer cabins become winter retreats with snow-covered pines offering a cozy setting for enjoying time on a frozen pond or rushing down a snowy hill. Short days give way to inky nights offering a deep canvas ready to showcase billions of twinkling stars and colorful Northern Lights best appreciated outside the cities.
