When winter arrives in April, you have to go with the flow. AdventureDog and I went for a nice, easy-but-hilly lunchtime snowshoe hike off-trail in Palgrave West.
Just to document this for future reference, here's what it looks like around our house. This is not soft, fluffy snow; it's a dense layer of ice pellets as heavy as concrete. I've heard of someone whose windshield cracked when a piece of this stuff slid off their car roof. In my case, it just knocked off the windshield wiper.
