Joe Parrino in New York. This is a somewhat typical scene during our New York winters. It gets pretty freezy up here. There\'s an incredible silence that you can almost capture through a photograph of any snow scene. It looks as serene as it is. When it snows, it\'s such a wonderful silence, all those noises get blotted out and it\'s just you and your mind to think. Imagine that and looking at perfect surf. A nice solitude.

“Chill, it’s just a little snow.” Not something you often hear before surfing? For some, it’s a seasonal occurrence, while for others, it can be a nightmare incarnate. Covering every inch of your body with thick, seemingly bullet proof neoprene can be a tedious and undesirable task. If you were born in warmer climates, it may not be one you aspire to either. Regardless of where you were born, however, every surfer should appreciate the resolve it takes to suit up and paddle out in a snow storm or trudge through snow banks to get barreled.
