Let it snow!

By Sandra Landen Machaj CORRESPONDENT

As fall moves into winter we begin to see those beautiful white flakes falling gently from the sky. They come down coating tree branches and suddenly fall to the ground creating a wonderful world of white. They turn the area into a magical winter wonderland. Winter certainly is the most wonderful time of the year when fresh snow covers the ground. There are so many fun outdoor activities, most of which can be enjoyed by the entire family to get you out of the house and ready to enjoy winter at its best. “Winter activities don’t have to be elaborate or expensive to provide a great opportunity for the whole family to enjoy. Put all that fresh snow to good use, bundle up, get active and discover the great outdoors,” said Wendy Kummerer, Director of Marketing and Communications McHenry County Conservation District. “And don’t forget to bring a thermos of hot chocolate to enjoy when you are finished with your activity.” Some winter activities require very little extra equipment. Start with heading outside with children in tow and begin to build a snowman in the front yard. Kids who enjoy the Frosty the Snowman shows will be excited to have their own Frosty. When finished enjoy a cup of hot chocolate topped with a marshmallow. Build a snow fort and have a snowball fight if the snow is not so icy that the snowballs could hurt someone. Getting the kids out of the house and away from the electronic games and participating in physical activities is both fun and healthy, not only for the children but also for the adults.

Ways to get out and enjoy winter

Sledding Many of us remember sledding as children. Grabbing our sled and heading to the nearest hill to slide down. Sometimes they were just small hills in your own or your neighbor’s back yard, while other times a trip to the local park or forest preserve added to the height and fun of a swift ride down the slope. Family activities such as these will make memories. Snowshoeing Looking for something a little more active? Snowshoeing is becoming more popular in this area. Originally found in the far north regions of the U.S., Canada, and the Scandinavian countries, who are known for their deep snow, snowshoeing came to the Midwest with the arrival of the Norwegian immigrants. Snowshoeing, along with cross country skiing, were the main means of traveling in the winter when snow covered all in this arctic region. Snowshoeing requires a pair of snowshoes and a pair of poles to guide you on your way. They traditionally have a hard wood frame with rawhide lacings. When attached to your boots they allow for distribution of your body weight over a bigger surface, thus allowing you not to sink all the way into the snow. Both adults and children will enjoy the feeling of walking on the snow rather than in the snow. Snowshoeing is considered a way to hike. When there is 5 inches or more of snow on the ground, snowshoes can be rented at the Lost Valley Visitors Center, Glacial Park. They have both adult and children’s sizes.

SUBMITTED PHOTOS Hi-Liter

Top: These downhill skiers pass under the shadow of a large tree as they ski single file down a hill at Wilmot Mountain. The ski resort makes its own snow, so if it’s cold, skiing is open. Above: Get out of the house and head for the nearest forest preserve and enjoy a walk. Watch for birds and other animals that make their home in the area.
