in Nature - Post Comment
My oldest ds (8) and I went on a walk back on the land where we're
renting today. The weather has been SOOO nice so there's a lot of
melting snow right now! I'll type more about the walk hopefully
tomorrow, but wanted to share this funny pic. Earlier last week before
the snow had melted so much my husband and son had gone walking in the
same area where we went today. As we were walking today I found these
very funny tracks that they had made.
The prints were actually raised up in the snow instead of sunk down
into the snow! My guess is that when the snow was very deep, it packed
the snow tight so it doesn't melt as fast. Then when it got so warm,
the snow melted away much faster where it wasn't packed down leaving
these raised up shoe prints! Very funny!
Interesting!

I can't say I have ever seen anything like the raised footprint before! VERY interesting! Your theory sounds reasonable! I didn't have a clue! :-)
