Tip and I did our usual walk this afternoon, but because of the recent heavy snowfall, I was wearing my snowshoes. The rest of the year they hang on the porch wall as decor -- I admire the handmade beauty of the old rawhide designs and am sorry that the metal framed snowshoes appear to have taken over the market. The shoes themselves are light and well-balanced but I've yet to figure out how exactly the bindings are supposed to work.
Last winter saw very little snowfall... conditions might revert to that again but so far, it is very pleasant to engage in some winter activities. Today, the first day of the new year, was sunny and minus seven Centigrade, which these days counts as being cold.
