| 6" of unexpected snow.
trails rolled, but where they've been using the backhoe on the new sections it's got lots of dirt chunks and ruts.
The south section's OK, but they haven't touched the section along the brook, so it's out and back rather than a loop |

 | Run (pavement) 26:40 [3] 4.75 km (5:37 / km) +66m 5:15 / km | |
| ahr:149 max:166 shoes: Nike Air Assail Trail |
| Evening run, about 15 degrees, not too windy.
Mostly clear sky, with a nice ring around the moon. As I remember, this is a harbinger of snow, something about the number of stars within the ring indicates how many days until it snows, or was that an indicator of how much snow we'd get?
Either way I didn't see any stars within the ring - maybe some of the fluffy white goodness finally coming our way?

| Another late afternoon session on the horse track.
Snow cover is holding up fairly well. We had a dusting overnight of large powdery flakes. As loing as the sun doesn't have any brown spots to hit and warm up, it seems to stay pretty well.
There's a few spots where it's icy and very hard, and some spots where the little amount of snow has drifted, but those are at most 2" deep,not enough to bog down in.
Did 5 laps at a good hard tempo - about 14 km/hr clip - (FRWD GPS is good at calculating and showing this stuff). Rest was at a varied pace. |
