This is my first winter caching and I am trying to approach caches during the snow months based on terrain, size(traditional, micro) and difficulty level. So, some questions on the intention of the attribute icons..... Do most cache owners consider the "winter accessible" attribute icon to describe the cache location (park, trail) as being accessible/open in winter months? Or is it winter friendly?... (i.e. hidden in tree, above ground or somehow protected from snow/ice cover.) Aside from comments in the cache description, am I flipping a coin as the whether I will be digging in a foot of snow or not? I don't think in all cases the one icon can equal both. Any opinions or general knowledge you can share? Any thoughts or past posts on whether an additional icon in the attribute listing would help? The existing snowflake for "accessible" and maybe another (snowman, etc?) for winter "friendly"? All help and comments appreciated!

Not sure of MapQuest, but Google Map allows you to "pushpin" mark with co ordinates ( or at least cross reference) Although I have yet to confirm, my cousin mentioned that Google Earth Satelite download allows you to overlay a Geocach grid on the image.
