Occasional muck. The hike in the state park last Saturday was muddy, but not muck, as there's more running water there than other places I hike. Today was an inch of fluffy snow over pine needles and leaves. So, a bit slick, but I had to take off my spikes, because they were clumping up with snow, leaves, and ice pellets, although it was not icy. Mostly, my hikes have been a bit of crunchy ice/snow, punctuated by leaves, or just plain icy. I actually don't mind if it's muddy, I just need to remember to take my shoes off before I go in the house.
