Don't I know it! We climbed out of there in knee-deep snow, with even deeper 
drifts. That was in Feb, about 4 years ago (I'm suffering temporary 
brain-drain and can't remember exact date). I'm sure it wouldn't have been so 
challenging under milder conditions, and if I hadn't had a killer migraine at 
the time. Watch out for the ice around the water--my spouse did a classic 
cartoon-character "23-skidoo" there.
