Be Careful Out There!

The trail was exceptionally icy this morning!
The milder temperatures Thursday-Friday left some melting that the cold snap today promptly froze. It would be hard to describe where all the ice is. It would be probably be easier to describe where there was not ice.
There was a light coating of snow throughout the valley which early in the morning has obscured the icy spots. There was still a fair bit of traffic through the trails, but mainly walkers. There were spots where it was obvious someone had fallen.
Some sore of aid (screws in you shoes or Yak-Trax) is highly recommended.
There was a strong wind that dropped the temperatures due to wind-chill.

Good News
The conservation area crews were out on the Headwaters Trail and were clearing the trees down across the trail. It looked like there may have been new ones down in that section since I was in Thursday night but they were hard at work on them.
