Now it gets messy

It warmed up enough today for most of the snow to melt. That leaves us with slush and muddy wet patches. I try walking on the snow because it’s cleaner, but the places I step — like outside the van door — just become mud sooner.

Everything is going to refreeze during the night then thaw again. Freeze thaw freeze thaw freeze thaw until it get’s warm enough to dry things up.

The good news is that the ground under the thin mud layer is hard enough to drive on. You can see tire tracks in the photo. So I should be okay to drive the short distance to the highway in case I need to leave before everything is dry.

  1. What are you using to keep warm these days? Do the "copper sox" still do the trick for your feet?

    1. I bundle up and turn the stove on once in a while. I gave up on the copper socks. Copper is a fine conductor not only of body heat but also of the cold outside. I just use ordinary wool socks now.

  2. Have you been to Sycamore Falls? It might be a bit dryer...and warmer. 52 miles from Flag.
