@jonassmith That Black Diamond you have over there isn't too shabby. Although it's not a public library in the same sense.

@pgogl Ah, I didn't of that, that I was logged in. I just checked and they don't seem to do gift links. I love the cold and walking in it too. Unfortunately the last few days, it's hard to get around on foot because the footpaths are treacherously slippy since a snowstorm on Friday. I hope they clear them soon.

@Shobeck Brilliant idea. And the name 'Shredenhams' is perfection.

@pgogl Far more than this. This was in the early stages of the ice forming, almost a week ago. It’s more dramatic now. The sea-ice currently stretches about 800 metres out from the coastline. I haven’t any photos myself, but there are great aerial images by drone photographer Jens Thaysen in Århus Stiftstidende.

@cazmockett Haha, yes!

@ownohmanny Ha yes. Nice!

Each time I see cycleways & paths still treacherous hours after the roads have been cleared, I recall this 99% Invisible episode.

"In Sweden, the council reversed its approach and plowed side-roads & paths first. It had a huge impact, reducing number of people admitted to emergency centres, particularly women. It had an economic impact from lower healthcare costs. Driving through a few inches was less dangerous than walking through snow, particularly if pushing a pram."

@baz Yes, it has that feel about it! I've always had a suspicion that a troll lives under that bridge, so close to all the thousands of storybooks just inside the library.

@AnguaDelphine We are very lucky. I give the city council great credit for custom-building an amazing public library on the city's prime mid-city waterfront location. In many cities, this might have ended up being a space reserved for for-profit businesses or luxury private apartments.

@monstreline We are spoilt, having this lovely local library. Even without the ice, it's amazing.

Taking a wooden footbridge across a sea of ice feels like the right way to enter a library

@geekmomprojects Amazing sight, amazing photo

@geekmomprojects I needed to look at your penguin photos. They are delightful.

@rhempel There’s a disclaimer in the Alt Text.

It's Monday. But for the first time in 17 years, it's not a Monday in January. So that's something, at least. Glædelig mandag. Just sending you a postcard from #Aarhus, just to say that I hope this week treats you kindly.

@eclectech The weather gods fighting it out there.The light is magical.

@dancingtreefrog @hoare_spitall Great example of the pointlessness of the overreaching upgrades-for-the-sake-of-upgrading.

@raymaccarthy The constant app updates are truly dementing and almost always pointless in practice.
