Winter in Ushuaia

The winter has been long although with almost a record low snow fall. It was a good thing that I never got the job in the ski resort, as the season only lasted for about 2 months. Instead I warmly welcomed all the Brazilians the in reception of a hotel in down town Ushuaia!

We did however get a one or two pretty stellar dumps of snow with around 15cm in a day or two...although it was all metling over the next few days. Still, we did have at least a white cover over the city for most of the 2 months of winter. 

You notice many of the older houses are shaped to hold through tougher winters with a lot more snow and wind. Looks quite cozy! 

 

Always a treat with a hot "yerba mate" when you get home!

To give you a better idea of what Ushuaia looks like. I took these on a sunny day I had off work. 

The view of the canal and the mountain ranges never gets old. 

These mountains are actually in Chile, as the canal 

(which you cannot see) draws the boarder to Argentina
