Some snow today

There was a light dusting of snow on the trail today.
The temperatures were cold but there was not the wind the city was suffering through.
There seemed to be more icy spots around this morning too.

Good weekend

The travels were in pretty good shape on the weekend considering the time of year.
The ground is definitely frozen solid.
There was some ice. Many of the trails that had been iced over earlier in the week had melted by the weekend but you still have to watch you footing in spots, especially where water would pool normally.

Enjoy the trails! Winter is officially here today.

Winter is here

As is you did not already know it by the cold temperatures and wind this week!
Quite different on the trail this morning from two weeks ago when I was out. Last time it was shorts and a bit of mud. This morning it was tights and ice.
The trail for the most part is wide open with very little snow but there are lots of spots with ice. Enough ice that screws in your shoes would not be a bad thing.
I was very careful but did manage to slip, once crashing to the ground in a heap, while on the ice.
Other then that it was a beautiful day to be out. Especially as the temperatures warmed up.
