cold, cold ground

pallas_athenaTsutomu Yamaguchi, only known survivor of both the Hiroshima and Nagasaki atomic bombs, has died aged 93.
Knut Haugland, explorer (notably on the Kon-Tiki mission) and leader of commando raids for the WWII Norwegian Resistance, died on Christmas Day aged 92.
They do not make guys like these any more.
In other news, it's still fuck-off cold (that is, so cold that it can only be ameliorated by swearing. A lot.) To find out exactly how ball-shatteringly cold it is, go to Fuck This Weather and enter your cold-as-all-fuck location.
Attempts to warm up by looking at Shirtless Superheroes ground to a halt when all the muscular torsos started looking sort of same-old-same-old. (except Nightcrawler, obviously.) So from there, I went to these images from the Harbin Ice and Snow Festival, which could heat a whole city with their sheer awesomeness. Also, some fun snow sculptures from Northern China. Enjoy!
