We got dumped on yesterday.

Looking at the bird bath, looks like about 15"?

I never actually measured it but I would say that or more.

My wife tried out her new snowshoes & even though they are sized to her weight she sank to her knees. Methinks she would be better off with her old wood frame & gut ones which are much larger.

I seem to recall they make different snowshoes for different kinds of snow. For light, fluffy snow, you need big snowshoes, for packed or ice, you need small, for snow in woods and lots of underblush, they need to be long and narrow... When I went to an aboriginal exhibition, there was one person making the snowshoes from wood and rawhide, and he explained to me the various types that he made and why they were the shape/size that they were. Right tool for the job/conditions.

I think that is the answer Paul, the new ones are small aluminum framed & have ice cleats on the bottom. Not meant for real SNOW. Big disappointment for Jeanne.

The fiesta just slides way too easy, even with snow tires.

When I drove a Fiesta for work, (no snow tires) I put four sand tubes in the rear footwells. (I charged them to my employer) Put two on each side for weight. Of course, the footwells will be full until spring, but if you are not filling the back seat with adults, no problem.

Thank you! No one is ever in the back seat. So doing this.
