3 m walk on snow covered towpath

I woke up 7:30 am to walk 20 m on towpath, but ended up just 3 m round trip from angler's inn to the great falls overlook due to the snow covered path. It was way more easier to cross country ski at 6+ mile per hour than running with micros pikes at 4 miles per hour. I am not sure how thick the ice was over the wide section, but I will not skate on it. I saw two dogs of my size. If the snow does not melt faster enough, I will skip the RFK 50 mile walk and do that on my own in late March. I continued running 10 miles at 11:22 per mil at a commercial parking lot, to make a half marathon today. — checked in to Great Falls Park.
