Cool!!!! That is great! Can't help you on getting it smooth but love that you did this.

Surprisingly at -6.7 some of the puddles in the road are still water. :o

Love the cold bluish light one gets at this hour when the ground is snow-covered.

Just hoping my furnace keeps up 🙄
Stay warm! I heat with wood but the floor (unheated basement) is getting pretty cool. Only how many more days of this?

I'd say the time it took to walk the course was about par.

Also, I totally would do that if it weren't for the fact that I'd manage to lose the light up ball anyway. :lol: :lol:

Hot water and a swifter sweeper. Or microfibre cloth wrapped around the swifter.
