Now that the severe frigid temperatures have lifted, people are beginning to venture out again.  But people with disabilities who use assistive devices don’t have the option or want to just stay inside all winter. Despite whether the ground-hog saw his shadow or not, we have more winter to come! And believe it or not, some people like winter!
