About an inch of fresh snow, so quick work of it. Also did Dads driveway when I went to Granby to visit. Plow guy hadn't been by plus quite a bit of packed ice, chipped most of it up so no slips when Dads out checking mail. Only 30 minutes away, but don't get over there as often as I'd like..
Looks like another 8" or so tomorrow..

Well, that was a ballbuster... Didn't feel like roads, so grabbed the Dions and head to rail trail. Trail was broken out, but still pretty soft. Pretty much a max effort for less than a 12 minute mile pace. But no falls, just hard work. Knees feeling a bit sore afterwards. May do it again tonight since the Striders hosting a moonlight run, now snowshoe under current conditions..

Same route, much firmer and faster than this AM. Got to the 3mi post before turning. Went off the front and ran by myself the entire time. But a fine gathering at Wood-n-tap afterwards...
Didn't get out for a run before the snow. But did get out about once an hour (10 times total) for what JJ refers to as 'dealings'. But I guess I'd rather make many passes at it rather than one onerous pass after its all said and done. Looks like about 16-18", but a lot of blowing/drifting so hard to tell. Driveway is good to go, car is clear but the morning may turn out differently. Getting decidedly colder too...
