Central and Upstate New York get an unbelievable amount of snow plus it is so bitter cold! You are doing the right thing and finding a way to enjoy it. After snowshoeing, maybe skiing is next!

I think the guy who wrote Life's Little Instruction book stole that quote from you! :) “No amount of yelling or throwing up the middle finger towards drivers, who find turn signal usage superfluous during a snowstorm, will really change my current situation.”

I was drooling over the snowshoe rack in EMS just last week, but alas here in Philadelphia we don't get much snow to speak of, and the shoes would hang in the garage, unused. I miss Truckee, and snow. I mentioned this in your Flickr stream, but I loved my one experience with snowshoeing when I used to live in the Sierra Nevada mountains.

Oh, it's not like I moved here from California or anything, I came here from South Dakota by way of Utah (before that, Cali). So I should have snow in my veins. But yeah, I've decided this year that I'm okay with snow, but that I need to buy a 4WD car. It sounds like you are having the weather we just had; it was 65 degrees here yeaterday. Don't worry, it's supposed to start snowing tonight so you should by snowshoeing by the weekend. :o) I just made peace with snow and I’ve lived in Michigan for 11 years.

And I'm impressed with you for snowshoeing. I can't even fathom doing any activities outside of my home during the winter. I’m still waiting burning hatred of the snow to descend to mild dislike.

What's the weight limit on those before they become useless to one (LARGE ONE)? So I’m wondering if snow shoes would even work for me.

Mainly because I live in Virginia, but also because any snow activity puts a pout on my face. Good for you though...I think I would be too clumsy for that!

I've always wanted to take up. It ices in Texas roughly twice a year and flurries less than that. No opportunities for snowshoeing, but I will enjoy looking at all the pictures you take while out and about. Have fun! I am actually quite jealous as it’s a sport (activity?)
