After the big snow, we wanted to walk the trail for a bit. Getting there was a bit of a problem because there was so much snow piled by the entrances that parking was problematic. Eventually, we drove to the arena which abuts onto the trail. Getting down to the trail from the parking lot was still a bit difficult, but we managed.
As you can see from Sue's lack of head cover, it wasn't excessively cold, but the temperature plummeted the next day to -20C or the fahrenheit zero.
There was only a narrow part of the path that had been tamped down, so we walked single file.
We also had nice glimpses down toward the river on the north side.
That was our little outing.
February has brought mostly cold weather along with snow accumulation because whatever snow has fallen has stayed with us. Even though winter was not excessively wintry through December and January (for here, all things considered), one still begins to weary of it come February, which has been pretty harsh. I look forward to March, when it will still definitely be winter, but we should still see some abatement on some days later in the month.
A very pretty walk & how nice to go some where different. You are quite lucky having a partner that enjoys walking.
ReplyDeleteThat third picture is stunning.
ReplyDeleteAlways good to get out for a winter walk. Snow is part of our lives every winter so the only thing to do is enjoy it.....well, and shovel it too!
ReplyDeleteIt looks very pretty, but that is really cold! I also look forward to March, for many reasons. :-)
ReplyDeleteI agree. Hoping for an early, March Spring too! It sadly may only be a pipe dream, though.

I enjoyed seeing you all out in the snow...as well as the sun on the snow. It's so nice the way it slides up at the base of trees. But I'm glad you had some areas that weren't so hard to walk through. All of these shots are just stunning.
ReplyDeleteFebruary has been a test of the nerves for sure. The days are longer though and we’ve had a few days of sun which really helps.
ReplyDeleteIt is a beautiful trail you have there.
Great snow and shadow photo at the end.
ReplyDeleteThat's a beautiful walk! I'm envious of Sue's beautiful coat and boots. I would rarely need them, but would like them anyway!
ReplyDeleteWe haven't ventured for a walk in the nearby large city park, mostly because of ice on walkways. Snow is not something I mind at all so maybe after the next snowfall which is forecast for sometime early next week.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful shots! Winter took its time showing this year, but there hasn't been the usual thaw of a few hours or a day that we tend to see most years.
ReplyDeleteWhat snow we got we have kept. We are at the 'should the roof be shovelled' stage. And yes, it is pretty. Clean and fluffy. More is falling as I write this and it is lovely. JG did try to drive around the house to the back and stuck himself though. He had to get the tractor to get himself out. Ah, February joys.
ReplyDeleteFebruary needs to be over, because I am sure over February!
ReplyDeleteMove to the Netherlands: only one week every decade or so! Mind you, lovely snowy pictures will mostly be a thing of the past in that case...
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely walk! Looks worth the hassle. I'm jealous of all the snow. :)
ReplyDeleteFebruary has been brutal this year. Lucky it's short!
ReplyDeleteNice shots on you lovely walk.
That's a beautiful walk. Sue's coat must definitely keep her warm. And those boots are perfect too!
ReplyDeleteYou do have to pick yours days. Then, I hear you about the paths. It's tricky in our forest.
ReplyDeleteWe batten down the hatches today. Our girls come for the week.
