To be clear, I subscribe to the Northener's axiom that there is no such thing as too-cold weather, just insufficient layers of clothing.

Most of these photos and a full explanation of restaurant doodling can be found in the "Coasting Through Rough Weather" section of my book Underfoot Menagerie, available here.
