For the first time in a week, temperatures climbed above zero. It was about 5 when we were shoveling the driveway, but compared with the past few days it was noticeably warmer. So we decided to go snowshoeing.
We headed off on a trail to Flathead Lake, tromping through the forest and winding down to the shoreline. Earlier in the day the water had been “steaming” in the frigid air, but I guess the surface temperature had reached more of an equilibrium with the air, so it wasn’t as impressive. Still, it was cool to see all the snow and ice along the water’s edge.
It was good to get out and do something in the snow that didn’t involve shoveling it…
