Red, white and cold all over

There's something warm and cozy about red cottages on a sunny day in three feet of freshly fallen snow. At least that's what we keep telling ourselves as we brace for the winter ahead. I know it's a mental thing because subzero is still subzero no matter what color the cottages are, but it helps.

Actually, these are the summer staff cabins at Camp Berea near Hebron, New Hampshire, during one of its appropriately named "Deep Freeze" winter weekends. They are cute and look cozy, but they are not winterized like the rest of the cabins. Maybe it's time to replace them with something that will expand the camp's summer and winter capacity. Something newer, bigger and most importantly, warm.
