Ice

Hello, Gerstuhl here, again!

One might think that when there are temperatures above the freezing point for many days, the ice on the ground would melt and disappear, making it easier to walk. This is not the case. Instead, the snow melts and freezes at night, so there is more ice on the ground, more slippery, more difficult to cross.

Well, the older Shibas tell me this is just a transition into spring. It will probably just last for a few days, if the thaw continues. I hope so. I do not like to walk slowly and carefully across the ice. We will have to see what happens.
