A crisp, cold winter morning can be beautiful.  Our winter so far this year has been very different than the past few years.  It took a long while (2nd week of January) before the below freezing temperatures arrived.  And once they did, it's been COLD!  Highs around 10 F, lows around 0 F (+/- a few degrees).
One benefit is very little snow.  Another is very little ice or dirty slush or salt on the sidewalks, all of which manage to ruin a pair of pants per week and destroy even my sturdiest boots.  Another benefit has been more blue skies than normal.  
Personally, I prefer this type of winter.  I hope it stays for a while.............
That's not snow piles on the Neva River;  it's ice shards.  The river froze so quickly that you can see how the river was moving & freezing at the same time
 
Beautiful river !
