Ice Ice Baby

Have you been outside? Ugh! This freeze-thaw cycle has left the city paths good for nothing but skating. There's about two inches of solid ice everywhere. Even with spikes on your paws the running will be sketchy at best. Some of the trails and fields with packed snow are OK but rough and crunchy in places.

There are also a lot of those big brown things on stilts hanging around. They've been eating nothing but twigs all winter so they're kind of slow and cranky. Dude, you seriously need some carbs to help that attitude. Just wait till Spring when you can eat fresh new grass and leaves.

This might be a good week to get your running miles done on a track or treadmill. If you do venture outside then tell us what you put on your paws in our newest poll.

How cold is too cold?

It's never too cold for Snowshoe Hares.

The temp was about -10f when we left the parking lot near Hilltop.

There may have been more dogs than people in our group. Hilltop Ski area was empty. Whasamatter Kids? Too cold to ski?



We could have taken the chairlift to get up here. Hill practice is done for this week.
