Even with the high temps, even where I live in N Kalifornia, been thinking some of snow camping already and hoping for deeper snow. The last few winters have been pretty poor when it comes to setting up a shelter in little snow. I like to level off a spot, pack it down and set up. Kinda hard to do with brush, debris poking out of the snow. A couple trips this last winter, did not need my 'shoes as I only had to carry them if needed.
