I'd suggest holding off on the snowshoes, though.
There have been approx. 5 days in the last 3 years when you could have used them. Even then they would have been more a hindrance than a help.
I've been snowshoeing for over 40 years, but the winters we have been getting (thanks a lot Global Warming!
) leaves little opportunity to use them in south/eastern Ontario.
Tom, if you really want to do some good snowshoeing try going down (and yes I mean south!) into the "lake region" of the Adirondaks. there are lots of snowshoe trails there around the Star Lake/Cranberry Lake/Tupper Lake area. And it still gets enough snow so that snow shoes are the only way to travel.
