My First Time Backpacking in the Snow

With no experience hiking in the winter, and very little backpacking at all, I figured it would be fun to tackle a snow-covered trail in -12 degree weather.
I hiked a trail in Ohio called the Zaleski South Loop: Moonville rail Trail.
Also I said -12 degrees above which is in Celsius to sound more dramatic. That's 10 degrees Fahrenheit, which is still way too cold, but still, just sayin.
Quick tips other than bring super warm clothes/sleeping bag:
- Trekking poles are great in the snow
- Water freezes (who knew)
- Don't fall into creeks

I understand the frozen shoe part. Once during the winter, I fell into a giant creek and got my legs soaked. That night at camp, I went to bed super early because my feet were so cold. When I woke up, the laces were so frozen that I could pull them up and they'd hold their shape like pipe cleaners. Thankfully, that was the last day and we were taking a shorter route out, since one of my friends injured himself the day before. My feet were completely numb the whole way back.

A tip for avoiding the cold shoes: Put a bottle of hot water in them to warm them up before putting them on. You'll probably need to heat the water while you're out there, unless you have a thermos that can keep it hot long enough.
