See, Selkie, there are several of us all over the nation that want snow!

As far as running tips on snow and ice -- I try to stay on packed trails (not pavement) and just wear trail shoes. Depending on conditions , as in ice or unpacked snow, I use Microspikes or Atlas running snowshoes (now THAT's hard work). While I have YakTrax which sorta work on pavement, I just generally stay away if the pavement is icy. Trails are a lot safer.

I also use Saucony trail shows which have a tight water-resistant upper and a heavenly loop for gaiters.

Most of what I know about running comes from yellow (though it turns out that she'll run 50 miles in a day but won't run at all in snowshoes cuz it's too hard! Wuss.
