45°F and sunny today... I don't think the Ice Palace would be doing so icy this winter! ;) They must use the Farmer's Almanac to decide or something.
Your post gave me flashbacks of standing out in the dark and frozen night, somewhere along Hwy 61 by the Mississippi river, watching the Ice Palace change colors. As a cold and impatient youngin, I was ready to head home. I remember being somewhat disappointed that it wasn't furnished, and you couldn't wander through ice passageways, winding ice staircases, and a great ice hall with ice chandeliers... Kids those days, sheesh... never satisfied. :P
Oh, I know! We're loving this warm up @lovejoy! It would be way better if they did the interiors as well. I guess a few of the earlier ones had complete interiors that could be walked through.
