Cathy has another winter question…does walking on re-frozen slush (so stiff, uneven peaks rather than fluffy snow) make your ankles hurt like hell? It *feels* no different than hiking but the last two days my ankles feel like I'm recovery from broken bones.
Also, I think my snow is worse that your snow. Your snow generally stays frozen, yeah?
Ice is the devil's creation.
Definitely a tripping hazard. I find that heavier winter boots tend to have better ankle support.
We get freeze-thaw cycles for sure (especially this year). The worse is going from giant melted water puddles to -20 C via a windy cold front -- on paper recycling day. You end up with an obstacle course of egg cartons and cardboards embedded in the sidewalks until the spring.
Yeah, I was wearing low-tops the last two days, the snow was shallow enough (and it turns out walking int he snow is a GREAT way to clean my dog park shoes; one day in the snow is cleaner that a scrub brush and soap!). It wasn't really rough enough to be a tripping hazard, but it certainly didn't feel like I was getting an ankle workout *while* I was walking.
My friends couldn't understand why I skipped dog park this morning because "the streets are fine!" Sure, the streets are, but I have a 6-ft stripe of 1" ice in front of my garage and 3" ice bumps in the parking lot. *Getting* to the street is the problem!
