Yesterday we got out in the neighborhood for nearly 8K. Notice the street is clear of snow and dry?
Today I traded my running shoes for snow boots to run out to feed the birds.
Our average yearly snowfall is about 50 inches, and we have had less than 40, including the 5 inches we got today... See picture below.. taken this morning.
In contrast, this snowfall will probably put Chicago and Grand Rapids MI over 100 inches for the season.
We certainly should have the moisture, but street shoulders will be too snowy and sloppy tomorrow for safe running in Saturday traffic... Soooooooo back to the community center track to run tomorrow.
No time for running on Easter Sunday. On Monday resume training... and look forward to the snow melt and clearing of the Gateway Trail.

When I lived in Boulder, we bragged that we had more sunny days than San Diego and more snow than Minneapolis. That was true, but not the whole story. My sister in St. Paul has assured me you don't see the ground in MN from November to April, and I believe that but here in DC we're running 10 miles tomorrow morning in 50 degree weather with, maybe, showers, and the cherry blossoms are stirring and the tulips are out.
will it ever end... Happy Easter to you and yours.
