It kinda buried this town this morning. I wouldn't think it would be too bad, but I don't have to drive in it. Downtown was a little quieter than usual, but not really. There are radio reports of people taking two hours and longer to get to work. Nanner, nanner, nanner.
The snow did make a difference in the run today. At the start, all I had were ruts in the street where the snow was sort of packed. It still rolled out from under the foot like sand. The Path Under The Stairs was OK, with a fairly well packed path down one side of it. It was only at the parking lot at the bottom where I got to cleared path.
They now have the new access ramp to the foot bridge to Prince's Island open, while the old stairway is closed. Very nice, but it seems narrower than it looked while it was under construction. They still have a lot to do on the path around it, that goes on top of the berm along Memorial.
For the most part, there was just a little packed snow here and there. No ice to speak of. Not too many runners either, but then I was out an hour early in order to make a meeting early this afternoon.
The return was pretty slow once I got off the cleared path. The snow isn't really packed and in places it just rolls out from under foot. One nice thing, is my entire block is already shoveled off.
Today's run:
Distance: 7.05 km. Time: 41:08. Average speed: 10.3 kph.
