In our area in Eastern Ontario a lot of the caches are placed higher off the ground so they can be accessed in the winter. Geocaching around here is a winter activity as well as summer. We spent some time geocaching in Northern Minnesota, Michigan and Wisconsin where they also get a lot of snow. We found most of the geocaches were placed on the ground which made them non winter friendly. It is too bad as it would increase the geocaching season. I also found that you have to be more creative with placing a cache making for some more interesting finds.
