We were out walking and playing for a couple hours this morning (see pics below), before it really started snowing hard as it is right now. It's beautiful! Very few cars on the road.

Friends and I are going to venture out on snowshoes in a bit, with dogs, cameras and thermoses of hot cocoa.

Lowe hiking boots, OR gaiters, REI waterproof pants, Sugoi espresso pants, long underwear, snowboard socks, LL Bean Rugged Ridge Parka, neck gaiter, etcetera, etcetera, are keeping me warm and dry. If you've got the gear, this is delightful.

The only deterrent to walking for miles and miles is the energy it requires. This is tough stuff to walk in for long. Hence, the snowshoes.
