It snowed a little bit last night, a couple of inches at the most. It stayed pretty cold today, so when I went out to hit the trail after work much of it was still covered with snow. OK, it was muddy snow because all the junior XC racers were out running ahead of me and there were happy dogs and their people running about but still...it was snow. To top it off it was a beautiful evening and all the fresh snow on the mountains was a treat for the eyes. And the temp was perfect; low 40s, I think.

The snow was much more stable than I thought it would be. Didn't slip once. But then it's pretty dry snow around these parts. I was thinking before that I'd need YakTracks to run this winter but now I'm thinking not.

Can't wait for more snow so I can do it again!

Oh, did I say ?
