Casa Quickie: Eco Snow Removal
When a big storm comes though, staying off the roads inherently cuts back on gasoline use. But using a gasoline-powered snow blower or other snow removal product to clear the snow from your driveway and walkway will also emit greenhouse gases. So, instead, use an electric-powered one.
Guess What This Does?
This tool is a snow rake, and has a very long handle. Can you guess which part of your home it rakes snow from?
Who Shovels at Your Home?
If you live in a snowy climate, chances are that you'll spend a good amount of time each week shoveling your front walk, which is actually a good form of exercise. Most cities also require that residents keep the sidewalks in front of their property free of snow and ice. Do you shovel at your home?
Roundup: Let It Snow
The holidays are over, but there's still plenty of Winter weather to be had. Even when I'm not hibernating, I love the look of snowflake motifs and minimalist snow-inspired accents. They lend a pretty, modern vibe to feminine or masculine rooms.
Do You Have a Sledding Hill at Your House?
One of my favorite parts of my childhood home was the huge (for the Midwest!) sledding hill behind our house. My siblings and I would pour water on it at night so it would get super-fast and icy by the next morning. While I don't think I'd risk broken bones on such an endeavor today, I do miss the old sledding hill.
Home Away From Home: Lainio's Snow Village
Before I bid Winter a final adieu, I thought I should bring you some awe-inspiring photos of a unique hotel, bar, restaurant, and art gallery in Finland. The Lainio Snow Village is located in the smal town of Lainio in the western part of Finnish Lapland, about 150 km north of Lapland's capital Rovaniemi and the Arctic Circle, and opens on December 1st every year. Consisting of an Ice Bar, a Snow Hotel, a restaurant, and an art gallery, the space is made of snow and ice, and features colorfully lighted ice sculptures and snow sculptures.
Do You Shovel the Snow?
It's still 52°F here in San Francisco, but other parts of the country have already gotten over a foot of snow this Winter. Personally, I always preferred to shovel the snow rather than pick at the ice on my walkway. But others would prefer to hire someone to do it altogether.

Do You Know Anyone With a Snow-Globe Collection?
I feel like there are so many movies where characters collect snow globes, but in real life I've never met such a collector. I saw this collection in the home of Martin Jacobs and Simon Pearce, which was featured on The Selby. It's a pretty extensive reserve, isn't it?
Do You Look Forward to Holiday Window Displays?
Some stores just add some fake snow and sparkly snowflakes to their normal display, while others, like this Christmas window at Fortnum & Mason grocery store in Piccadilly, London, go all out.
