2023: W24R2 - Even deeper snow :-)

[lusmo]

Even deeper snow and more cold than last time. This time -7˚C.

I really didn't want to look for a gym with a treadmill, so i prayed and said i will give it a try.. 🤣

The snow was quite deep. I will need shoe covers.

But my shoes with a membrane "for a few crowns from Lidl" still hold incredibly well.

No more long distances today, running with great concentration and caution.

Successfully done without injury! 💪 Yes!

Happy running!

Thanks! Since it's still snowing, it'll probably be a treadmill on Friday. 😪

When it's that cold the snow can be a really nice surface for running. Just make sure you wrap up warm, let people know when you're expected back and don't stray too far from home if you're on your own.

Agreed. Freshly fallen snow which hasn't turned to slush can be great to run on.

That's the problem with snow in much of Britain — it often falls when the ground temperature is still above freezing, so it quickly turns to slush underneath.

Mid-December 2010 was very much an exception. We had snow after a few cold days, then the temperature immediately dropped to -5°C daytime and -10°C at night, and stayed like that for a week. It was the only time I'd experienced powder snow in Manchester.

and then the slush freezes overnight as temperatures drop - leaving an uneven but incredibly slippery surface

[lusmo Graduate in reply to Leotigris]

Well, that's what I'm afraid of..

Looks so cool. Stay safe!
