Ice and snow

This is as close as I can get with the dog to the bridge where we take our daily picture. There is a skin of ice on top of the snow that is just not strong enough to support Holly’s weight. It’s fine for me with my snowshoes and heavy boots, but she breaks through with every step and then has the sharp icy edges of the holes she’s made to deal with.

So we’ve just walked along the dirt road at the bottom (which has been roughly plowed as far as here coz of the sewage pumping station) and we’ll walk back the same way.
