Sitting here debating if I'm going to go anyway or cry off.

I think I really want to run today.

Judging by the forecast overnight today will be a better idea than tomorrow as we have snow forecast between 1am and 8 am.

Anyone toying with a snow run today,

Did you go???

I am just watching the snow start to settle! I'm going to go for a quick one before it gets too heavy!

Little flakes coming down when I did Parkrun this morning - does that count as 'real' snow???

Hehe, I live in London so YES. 😀. I'm a Yorkshire girl at heart so NO. 😀.

Off out when my lunch has gone down. It's not settling on the roads here - and driving would be the main issue. Have trail shoes, will run. I love a bit of snow, me.

That said I'm not heading off to the moors today, but did that earlier in the week.

I went out and did 5km, feel better for it, was going for 7km. Running with the wind behind me was fine but when I had to turn corners and face it I decided 5km would be enough.

Running in proper snow is on McFitty 's bucket list, so I think you all need to get out and traipse through inches of snow, just to say you've done it😎 If I hadn't run in snow I wouldn't have got out in January. We had about 4 weeks of snow on the ground, quite deep at the beginning and very icy towards the end. But it's gone now and the sun is shining 🌞☀️Still no sign of any snowdrops or anything though.

I ran yesterday with a few flakes fluttering down around me. Pretty, but didn't settle.😕

No... didn't go..:(

Got up to run before an Art Day... too much snow and uncertainty about what was under it on the lane and pavements ( icy!)

On the way to Art, I passed a lady who, I have seen running in the area for many years, ( I think she must be a Marathon runner, as I see her so far out of the area sometimes..) and she was running on the slushy road edge..( and on the wrong side) very slowly for her . I think I made the right decision maybe.

Did thirty minutes on the cross trainer..not the same, but enjoyed anyway!!!

Hey ho.. sunshine tomorrow!!! :)

Don't blame you, any doubt of ice and that is me out of the running. 😀. Pun intended.

I did get out. Only a centimetre of snow but it meant that it was more comfortable spending more of the route on a fairly hard track than it usually would be.

Well done for getting out. ours didn't lay at all so was mainly in my face on the run home.

Yesd, a few flakes that didn't settle, but it was COLD! So I'm claiming it as a snow run!
