Cecelia and I started at Millard and made it to Inspiration Point via the Lowe Road. It rained, sleeted, and snowed on us. Lots of snow on the road still. Postholing up to our knees above Alpine Tavern.

I sort of like visiting some snow, postholing like that does not sound fun.

I don't hike in the snow anymore, too cold, wet, and tiring. I went to the top of Oat Mountain on Sunday it was freezing cold on top but at least no snow. Plus is you get to hike with lots of cows, They got spooked by me and started jammin down the mountain. It sounds like your balls didn't go blue, which is a positive.
