Methuen spent much of mid-February caked in ice, thanks to a snowstorm, followed by rain, followed by days of freezing temperatures. Stores experienced a shortage of ice melt, and many folks took their lives in their hands walking on slippery walkways and sidewalks. But not everyone cursed the ice! Here, Nicholas Roberson, 8, of Methuen, takes a breather from exploring the Ice Castles in North Woodstock, N.H., during February school vacation. Courtesy photo by Lisa Roberson
