I've always thought that snowshoes were a little, well... stupid.
I mean, you can just put on winter shoes and walk through the snow. Or shovel a path, right?
Wrong!
Yesterday and today, I got to experience the craziest blizzard I have yet experienced. It was a total white-out, with giant snow drifts that look like a snow version of a typical desert. The snow is above my head in some areas. I literally feel like I'm swimming through snow. It's crazy, and hilarious, and really crazy.
In short, whoever invented snowshoes was a certified genius.
If I could speak to that inventor, I would congratulate him. Probably with tears of gratitude in my eyes. And tears of sympathy, because he must have experienced the sort of snow we have today to feel the need to invent them.
Still, I have to admit that having this much snow, while inconvenient, is also super cool. (In more than one way).
