To all of those geocachers out where it is cold I do feel sorry for you (unless you enjoy cold weather caching).  Especially for those people who are dealing with a lot more snow than they ever expected.  The weather in any situation changes the game.

This weekend I was in Northern Indiana and was reminded of some of the issues with winter caching.  I was attending a “Sketcher’s Weekend” and did have a lot of fun, but when it came to caching…  The motel hosting the event was about 250 feet away from a cache.  So before everyone gathered I ran out and found it.  Not too bad although any muggle could now follow my footprints right to ground zero. But snow does change the game in other ways.  Some caches that are really hard to get to most of the time can be easy once the pond has frozen over… unfortunately in most cases all the typical hints are obscured in the snow.
