That looks wicked.
We had an hour and a half running in a blizzard around Bull Hill and holcombe.
Nothing beats running in the snoe when it's dark.
Awesome:D

Just run 4m home from work in snow, it was cracking, no one about, no cars, ran in the middle of the road, got called Spiderman by some tipsy bird coming out of the pub, just before she fell over. Stopped to help her up of course, i am the freindly neighbourhood sort:D
Is the last photo me millipede? What a brilliant run out this evening! :cool:

It looks the same around us Ian...
I went into work on the cross bike yesterday, but today actually decided running in was the safest option! Quite fun, running through about 5 inches of snow, through some fields. The steep icey bit of road even wasn't a challenge for the Roclites... but would have been on the bike.
It is snowing again...
As I live on top of an exposed hill it's basically been blowing and blizzarding until the early hours. Woke up to a "bit more snow" this morning... :)
My meeting's over. I'm about to take the dog for a walk with my sledge!
Yippee!!:D:D
Nice pics Jan - get the kids tunnelling through those drifts!
We're knee-deep.
Made an ace igloo/snow shelter for the kids. IanDP & MR would have been proud! :pQuote:

Cars littering the hills round us, and a bus had slid into a bus stop in Hud.
Still, could have been worse - you could have had to cycle in.... :pQuote:

That was brilliant fun!! Although the dog's natural sled-pulling skills - like he would have in the wild - did not emerge. In fact it was bloody difficult trying to steer the sled with one hand and hold the mutt's lead in the other!!Quote:

Got a few weird looks from some of the other dog walkers:o
From my hill, Pendle was in front of me looking all pretty covered in snow, and I began to wonder...Geronimo??...Sledge??...Hmmm...???:cool:
Finally got out for a run in the snow today during my "lunchbreak" as I am working (shirking?) from home today:rolleyes:. Most of the paths are unwalked on yet as the snow fell midweek so great fun for running in:D

I got eyeballed by a kestrel on the way home. Probably thought I was about to drop and there might be some fresh meat available:)

Still stacks o' snow piled up though! :)
All been gone for two days now.Quote:

Still loads here, Stunning day lots of sunshine. I've been for a run this morning, not the one I'd planned but good enough, the back of the golf course which is about 400m from my house it was still thigh deep in places. Lots of cross country tracks about and the snow is still fresh , no crust and no slush, more tommorrow apparently:DQuote:

He got up the next morning, found his local station shut and a note pinned to office door "NO TRAINS - THANKS" so phoned the school to say he'd be late. No reply so he phoned the agency. They said sorry all schools are closed didn't you know?
He went home.
One of today's papers had the headline "TEACHERS NEED TO SHOW MORE GRIT"
More snow forecast for the next day or so.
And its icy now, just wobbled and wheel slipped home on my bike, next week looks bad as well:eek:Quote:

Great conditions here. Over two feet of snow! (well both of my feet were covered in snow!:))
Just back from an hours run in perfect conditions - felt like 3 hours of effort ploughing through the snow. Doubt if I can drive into work as the village is cut-off by the snow. Looking forward to another long run later today.:)
