Snowshoeing at 50 degrees.....

...is not recommended. We had tons of melting overnight, but there is still about 2 feet of snow in the woods, so we figured that snowshoes were the best way to explore. Boy, were we wrong. The snow has a completely different consistancy than when it is below freezing, and I sunk in to my knees with every step even with the snowshoes on. It doesn't look good for W's plans to ski while we are here. At least he got out x-country skiing with Larry yesterday before the temps went up.
