[at-l] Start dates, snow, and trail runners

[kellyswhitman at hotmail.com (Kelly Whitman)]

I'm thinking about moving my start date from April 15th to March 15th.  I've 
read in journals that there's a greater likelihood of snow if I do that (one 
hiker woke up to 8" of snow).

If you're wearing trail runners, you'd lose some toes to frostbite if you 
hiked in the snow in those, wouldn't you?   Do you slip some kind of 
modified trail Wellie over your shoes?  Or wear heavier hiking boots until 
you can swap those boots for warmer weather gear (where do you do that)?
