We got 9-10 inches (22-25 cm) of new snow yesterday. This was on top of the 6 inches (15 cm) that was already on the ground, so walking anywhere through all that snow becomes very tiring and burdensome. Every year when the snow reaches this depth, just walking out across the yard is difficult, so I always make trails with my snowshoes, to pack down the snow in those places I need to go. Once the snow is packed down, we are able to walk on the paths with our winter boots, no snowshoes needed.
I snowshoed around the pond this morning, so that path is packed. Later, I will make paths to the compost pile and wood pile. I cleared the driveway yesterday, so now I can easily get to the shop, the barn, and the bird feeder. I can’t think of any other outdoor places I will need to get to for a while.
