It shall be called, "Snowtorious B.I.G"

[AnchorAlum]

Love the title! Actually all of them are good.

Poor Doggie - talk about your yellow snow!

Sorry, no snow in sunny F.L.A. today. But it's getting chilly here in the northern part of the state. I might have to turn on the heat.

I havent measured how much we got, but its definitely up to the dog's heads and we have a lab and an American Bulldog. I have gotten quite a chuckle today watching them leap around in it.

ETA: just read in the paper online that we got 27.1 inches!

I went for a run in it:

Fine! I have these things called YakTrax, you can see them on my shoes. I run in the snow all the time.

[Gusteau]

Oh wow, those are really interesting - how do they work? Do they just give you more traction?

[DaemonSeid]

as short as you are, around here, you would have disappeared into the snow.

At some parts the snow was up almost to my waist and I am over 6ft tall....LOL

and you look like you are about what...5'2 - 5'5?


hehehehe

Dude, I'm bent over to show my shoes for the camera. I'm 5'8. lol

Gusteau -- Yeah, they are traction aids. They are basically a series of coils that wrap around the bottom of your shoe. They are awesome.

My fancy schmancy Montrail Gore-Tex shoes are hard to run in, so I bought a pair of Yak Trax last night, I'm going to try to give them a go later this afternoon. Hopefully visibillity will be better by then, everyone on the news is all "STAY IN UR GONNA DIE".

I've found that they work best on packed snow -- when I ran in them during SNOWMAGEDDON II: ELECTRIC BOOGALOO I ran in the middle of the road where a couple of cars had packed down the snow. It's really hard to run in these drifts. The YakTrax seem to work best in the few days after a snowstorm where there's complete ground cover that's been smooshed down a bit.

Noted. I'm way behind on my training for the Cherry Blossom 10 Miler because I let my gym membership lapse and I'm only running outside now.

I'm going to walk to the grocery store now, despite Topper Shutt's recommendations to stay inside. Hopefully they're open.

Yeah, it has been kind of interesting to watch how crazy people have been about it.

When I was living in Boston we got something like 20-25 inches (may have been 2004/2005). The city shut down for a couple of days, but I don't remember the "end of times" craziness, and it's not like we're used to getting that level of snow in New England.

For some reason I've never been able to run in snow. I'm way too un-coordinated.

Greater DC is supposed to get more snow on Tuesday night. At this rate, our kids will be going to school in July.
