I'm high on snow. The scene is so great up here now. Long walks in the woods, up to ridge tops, and in parts of the woods that I don't go at other times due to moisture, ticks, mosquitos. It is so awesome around here, and the thought of a thicker cover, and pack that could last a few weeks has me all fired up lol. You really should up to the Lakes area this week. Take the kids snow hiking, or just beg your wife for a day to drive up and chill.
