Snow on the Trail

Milt Gross writes in the 19 January 2012 Waldo Village Soup, from Waldo, Maine about ice. Snow and ice. Cold weather hiking. And did I mention the ice?

The article is titled "Down the Road a Piece" and begins so:

I’ve trudged through snow so deep on the Appalachian Trail above Grafton Notch that the snow covered the eye-level white blazes that hikers in other seasons follow from Georgia to Katahdin.

Yeah. That's a lot of snow.
