Conditions Tuesday

Things are starting to change rapidly in the valley.
While there is still snow and ice to be found, it is disappearing fast leaving some big mud patches in it's place.
Several of the shaded areas on the trail are still covered in ice but this is becoming much softer and breaking under the weight of a runner's step.
The long run down from the farmer's field is still cover in ice and was running ankle deep in the run-off water.
Some of the muddy patches just suck you foot in up to your ankle. These spots can surprise you. One set is fine, the next your foot disappears without warning.
Weather was great for a run Tuesday with the sun shining brightly.
