Having run most days for a fortnight in deep snow over Christmas I have to disagree with you Al. If by deep, you mean 4 to 6 inches of slightly thawing wet, relatively untrodden snow, then you're bang on.I tell you this for free.....you cant half descend as some speed when the snows deep.
On the other hand try running fast (or at all) in 3 foot deep frozen snow with one set of the day before's footholes frozen solid in place or crunchy ankle shearing 'razor' snow or the stuff that's inconsistantly frosty on top such that with one step it supports you but with another you sink up to the top of your thighs.
Like an Eskimo I can now distinguish between 50 different types of snow
Our local river has frozen over as well as knee deep snow in some towns. Tried to attach a picture
taken a few minutes ago in the back garden.

still snowing, all school closed, roads passable to proper 4x4's with competant drivers
Looks completely brilliant
Quite a morning today, set off at half six. Got off the bus in Bury after just over an hour after leaving Ramsbottom to try and get the tram into Manchester. No trams, saw the next express bus for Manchester so got on that. Gets to the M66 about a half hour later, we were then told that when the service terminated in Manchester the bus would return to Bury, and all other services would be suspended until further notice. I thought sod that! Ended up getting off the bus and walking down the slip road, and walked home. Quite a nice walk as it turned out, coming back alongside the Irwell, might try and muster some effort for a run in a bit.
...and the directors at work just sent round an emal instructing all staff to go home at 2pm WOOOHOOO!
Pathetic relly given the paltry covering that we have ATM but I ain't complaining. Might get out for a run in the light.
Sat at work in the middle of Sheffield with no sign of being allowed home early
but I feel really sorry for some of the others here who live in Chesterfield/Worksop/Wakefield you name it.
HSBC building opposite me looks deserted - quieter than Christmas
I guess the winterhandicap is cancelled then ??
My club's monthly time trial tomorrow is definitely cancelled - icy pavements apparentlyI guess the winterhandicap is cancelled then ??- shame as I'm sure there would've been a personal worse or two
Anyway snow in Leeds centre didn't stop for long, been coming down again for last couple of hours.
Forging tracks up on Chinley Churn this morning... normal 50 minutes route took 1hr 25 mins!!! Saved some time not having to open gates though.
Planning a night slog up South Head ridge path tonight... was thigh deep at the weekend so should be interesting.
