There was a fresh blanket of snow on the lawn when I got up this morning, but the roads were just wet with slushy spots....at first.  By about mile 7 I was slogging through 2-3 inches of deep/wet snow that completely covered the road, and the snowflakes hitting me were huge.  It was a beautiful scene, but not a day for a fast pace.  I ran 10.71 sloppy miles.
