It reminds me of ice with deep cracks in it. Whenever I went ice skating as a kid, looking down into the depths it was always scary but also very entrancing.

Ooo, I've never skated outdoors! Just in a rink indoors.

Where I lived as a kid through my teens was near an artificial lake that was iced over for skating so that's where I learned. It was great, lots of room, but looking straight down sometimes gave me weird vertigo.

Outdoor ice is a lot less flat than indoors, you have to deal with bumps and such and they test the depths for safety when the weather changes but when it's -15 to -20 celsius out then it's thick enough.

It's just part of growing up in Canada but I guess to anyone who hasn't had to live with winter 9 out of 12 months every year I get it would be super weird hahah.

When I lived in Scotland, any inch of snow was incredible haha. Same with here in Ireland, so yeah makes sense lol. Always weird to see photos of my home city to compare with here because we still have plants and flowers out but it's all snowy and the leaves are gone there.

But there is a lot to recommend sitting in a warm house having hot drinks while a thick layer of snow is outside.

It's the best leading up to Christmas and maybe a week after I think.
