An auspicious beginning for sledding

We've had a mix of rain, freezing rain and "glaze" the past couple of days. The deer print above gives you some sense of what the ground is like. It's messy, but it's supposed to get cold now, so I think all this mess will become a nice slick base for some good sledding ahead. Waverly got a few good runs in on the slight incline in the yard this morning, and I can't wait to try a real hill.
