Morning all,
Snowy? yes indeed, about 8 inches here. Pretty treacherous stuff too.
Glad you're ok Pammie, and, yes, sad, isn't it. But you're right. In my life, at least, it isn't a new phenomenon. All the city lore I had to learn when we moved to DC, and unlearn when I came to this country.
Gobi, and all others cycling in ice country, er, careful, you all? And keep your head protected, yes?
Me? An hour and twenty minutes run in the white stuff. Because I like running in the white stuff. It should have been a long slow day, but running in the snow eats energy, and knowing how fast I can change from feeling fine to feeling completely out of energy, it seemed foolish to wander too far. As LMH has observed, it is definitely a whole body workout. I was spending energy far too hard to keep it going for a long run.
Still, fell shoes grabbed the snow and on most surfaces the traction wasn't too bad. Heading out, crossing Parkers Piece, a green square on the way in town, I chose a pristine patch of snow, took off pack, lay on my back and swung my arms up and down.
Please god, may I never grow too old to enjoy making snow angels.
