The frozen Hudson River

The Hudson River from Mills Norrie State Park

Last year I bought some of those ice grippers you can velcro onto your boots. This year I put them to use on walks at Canopus Lake, along the Hudson here at Mills Norrie and clearing the ice from the driveway. This year I’ve added snow shoes to the equipment.
