Was This Worth 3 Hours Of -25°F & Frost Bit Hands?

 
The building lights are from a ski resort 20 miles NE of town.

Wow..yes it was!

Those shots would be great Sonar Platinum backgrounds for wallpapers.

I must see those someday! 
 
(Preferably when it's a bit warmer though.)

Is there any option but yes? Sometimes I think I would risk death for a perfect shot.
 
Yes yes yes! Always worth it

WOW! just WOW! YES IT WAS! I wish I could get frostbit and see that 

Last night was forecast as LOW:2, so I shouldn't have seen a thing. If you really want to experience this.... frost bit fingers and all, the next 7 days are predicted to be 2s, 3s, and 4s. So how fast can you get here?

Is Santa using his sleigh?

Makes the images all the more appreciable knowing you were there in such conditions.
 
We watched the Geminid meteor shower from a beach in Hunstanton UK last December...she was physically shivering and it was around a balmy -5.
 
Like the gent I am I put my hands over her ears so she could stay that bit longer to soak up the atmosphere...pun spotted but not intended :)
 
Good times :)

Was this worth risking 80 degree temperatures and potential sand in my shoes?
 

This is looking west toward the South China Sea from Bauang, Philippines, last Monday night.
