A short walk in the cold was my objective for this day. Clear skies and moderating temperatures (it was above freezing - about 35 degrees - at the Sky Country Trail Head). Not many folks out on this afternoon and the trails were concrete hard frozen with ice everywhere water flowed. The ice was not a problem except for a short stretch on Red Town Trail near the "ball park" which was about 10 feet in length and required modest caution. Once temperatures return to normal, trails will get quite muddy so I was glad to have the time to enjoy the benefits of our freeze.
In general the trails were in super shape, mud holes all frozen and solid for easy walking. On the return saw Seattle area covered in a brown haze (smog) due to the lack of turbulent air mixing - looking forward to the rain/snow to move this junk out.
