Had the opportunity to run on snowshoes in October but didn't. We got about 8 inches of wet snow overnight but I figured I'd end up running with snowballs on my feet so passed. A fine day for a run (on the road) with fall colors and snow on a bright sunny day with temperatures in the 40's. Roads were mostly dry by late afternoon when I ran. Went west on 32 , then north on 203 to Sweets Crossing Rd. and back.
Only a few broken limbs and branches down from the snow and no loss of power. Others had much more snow (up to 2 feet in the high spots of Western MA) and much more damage. Memories of October 4, 1987 when we got hit pretty hard by a foot of early season snow.
Note: Orienteering event scheduled for Ward Pound Ridge was sensibly postponed, as was the Hairy Gorilla Trail Run.

66N and back. Didn't run yesterday because it SNOWED! Thought about the treadmill but couldn't bring myself to do it since it's still October. Temp about 40 and lightish.
