Dune Snowshoe

Yesterday everything turned to ice. It got cold the previous night, so all the melted snow and puddles froze solid.  Since we still didn't have much snow,  I decided to just drive to the falls from my house, down part of H58 that is not maintained in the winter by the road commission.  The distance is only a mile and I made it, but my car went sideways on the road in a couple of places.

The trails were not much better. I had to snowshoe next to the trail, alternating between the right and the left side of the trail -- which ever was passable.

Since the conditions were so horrible, and because I had a lot to get done yesterday, I didn't stay out that long. I also only took four pictures.  But first a few sunset pictures from the night before.  Sometimes the color in the winter sunsets are even better than the color in the summer.

It was still a bit foggy in the morning.  Just as I finished hiking, it started to snow.  We originally were supposed to get eight inches.  As I look out this morning, I'm not sure if we received two inches.

There still is no shore ice.....  

There also is not much ice on Sable River.
