St. Paul Winter Carnival

In the northern reaches of the USA, there are snowy places. Places where the people enjoy the piled high white stuff. Where they get out and play in it. One of those places is St. Paul, Minnesota, where they have had a winter carnival, with a 'King of the Winds', since 1886.
For a week in late January, they celebrate with many activities, including an ice sculpture contest: photo gallery
Many of us in the southern states are content to see the snow on the internet and wonder about these people who enjoy the cold so much.
