It’s snowing in most of the country (though not here at Architizer World Headquarters, where it’s a balmy 50!). Many of you in the U.S. are in the process of heading home for Thanksgiving, gearing up for marathons of the reality shows you’ve missed, and finalizing the recipes you hope will impress your elders this year (they probably won’t!). Given all this hygge, we found ourselves leafing through images of snow-bound homes and wistfully questioning whether living in a city is ‘worth it.’
We’re not going to dress this up for you – we just love pictures of nice buildings in the snow. Enjoy, and Happy Thanksgiving.
