The snow underfoot became incredibly noisy when you walked over it, as the crystals did not melt under pressure.Yep. It makes a kind of squeeching sound, like stepping in or driving over styrofoam peanuts. The kids ride their bicycles in -20 weather, because the snow is about the same as sand as far as traction goes.

Yeah, I had to do it in the snow and cold, too. Barefoot. Uphill. Both ways.

Once experienced -40° as a kid. In the 1980's, I skied at Alta, Utah, when it was -30°. Thankfully, there was no wind, and it was a bright, sunny day. There was also about 16 inches of new, fluffy powder. I remember walking around on the packed snow around the chairlifts, and you're absolutely correct--the snow "squeaked" when you walked on it.

The snow underfoot became incredibly noisy when you walked over it, as the crystals did not melt under pressure. I used to wear arctic gear and "shuffle" over snow like that. I remember one day unplugging my truck and as I approached the door handle, a static spark jumped from my hand to the door handle because it was so dry.
