I still try to walk on top of the icy top above the snow and try not to sink down. My dog can often do it, but she only weighs 18 lbs. It’s partly about weight distribution while trying to walk.
That last panel reminded me of my Boy (Avatar) walking out through the woods in the winter, especially after a good snow ….. I didn’t know if he heard something or smelled something, but every once in awhile he’d do like Rover, drive his head in the snow and come up all covered with snow ………… great memories …… :)
Oh I remember those days! Freezing, brilliantly sunny late December/early January days when I was young enough that I’d be near frozen before I’d decide it was time to go home. Then curling up with a book and hot chocolate to defrost. Sigh.
It’s got to be just the right temp and kind of snow to get that lovely crunch. Here in Maryland, we don’t often get the right combo. Often too warm or wet or just not enough of it. So lovely when it works out.

All that crunches is not potato chips.

The crunchiness of the snow is affected by temperature.

Last week I was in Nothern Va. when it was 9 degrees during the day and the grass crunched when walked upon.

Hope they don’t live in Buffalo.
I’m not talking about its weather trouble of late, since this comic takes place 50+ years ago. I’m talking about Buffalo chips.
