Took the last two days off due to snow and exhaustion, in that order. Both are still present, but decided to go out for a late tromp through the white stuff. There were places I was running the JBH trails by memory because I couldn't see them through the snow. Slipping was pretty minimal, fortuantely, mostly crunching down enough to where the footing was pretty good. Took me 51 and change to do 5.27, including a brief pitstop along the trail (at 16 degrees and 9:30 at night, NO ONE else is out there, trust me). Fortunately there was no wind, so the wind chill was also 16. In 48 hours, the ambient temp is going to be in single digits and the WC will have a hyphen attached.

Decided to get one more run in before we maybe get iced in for 2-3 days. Except I was kind of iced in tonight. Streets/paths were already very slick from freezing drizzle, so much so that it was preferable to run off the path in the snow than on the path. Then it started snowing on top of that. So now there will be a layer of glaze in the morning layered with snow. Yuck. Getting to work will be SO much fun. Regardless, I did 5.38 at 10:24 pace, not having the benefit of snowshoes, Yaktrax or anything else for traction. No bust busts, however/
