Took a stroll today. "Stroll" was long enough maybe not the length, but in time for sure. I got tired.
These weeks we had shitty weather, above 0, with rain, the soil became soggy. Then snow came and sudden cold, they promised ~15C here for the nights and -3-5 for the days. It wasn't that cold however, was borderline melting. The snow insulated the earth anyway and the mud remained under the 10-20 cm of snow (depending on the wind). Which meant not just muscling through the snow but slipping in the mud as well.
Mostly I followed roads and tourist trails, but certain places large puddles with thin ice, and trickling water made me slalom around. At one place at length forestry trucks plowed the loose soil, engraving it with deep wheel tracks, which then gathered water. These were also treacherous since their thin ice were often covered by the snow. So there I was hiked among the trees and the thicket. That was actually nice.
