Only one picture on today's page. Imagine having to get around in the dead of winter in an open sleigh. No heater, exposed to the elements, it would be possible to die of hypothermia just going to town. A broken runner or a lame horse, and no public transit and one could be snowed in for weeks or even months.
But I still want to do it! I still envision a ride through the snow in Vermont at Christmas time. I'll never do it, but I'll always dream of doing it. And in my dreams I'm warm under a woolen blanket and drinking cocoa. I know the reality would be much closer to what you've stated.
