It snowed quite a bit last evening...heavy wet snow.  All of that froze on the road and then it was 22 degrees with a wind chill of 13.  Absolutely no footing at all.  I need to head to Salt Lake early this morning so I didn't have time to wait for the roads to clear.

7.58 miles.  2 laps around Oquirrh Lake (3.20/lap) then a bit extra around the neighborhood.  Sunny, but cool morning.

10.08 miles out to the Wellness Complex and back.  I used the Northgate overpass for the first time.  The crossing over the freeway is MUCH safer than the Chubbuck Road overpass I used to take.  You could probably drive a car across the pedestrian lane it is so wide.

Nice morning.  Cool, but sunny.
