That sounds just like this area! We have had an easy winter this year, but it began Oct 20th and we have at least 2 or 3 more months to go. Usually there is snow on the ground for at least 6 months, sometimes 7, like the last 2 years. I'm hoping for an early spring this year, it does happen sometimes, but not often!
I still should have described them or shown a pic, many people wouldn't know what they are. Perhaps if I write another snowshoe adventure then I will do that. I appreciate your reading and commenting!
I guess I should have described snowshoes. They are large and flat, with wood frame and webbing in between, like a large tennis racket, that are strapped onto regular winter boots. They help a person to basically float on top of the snow, though you still sink somewhat. Snowshoes are hard to describe but if you google snowshoes it will give a pic of them. Sorry for the confusion, I should have included a pic of them. Have a wonderful day and thanks for the comment!😀😺🌞
