SNOW??!!!
Thursday, October 15, 2009

Two years ago I ran the Ridgewalk 14 mile trail race (now measured to be 15 miles) in the Allegheny region of southwestern NY. It was a gorgeous sunny fall day with the foliage at peak color - a beautiful day for a 4 hour run/hike up and down mountains and through the woods.

I'm signed up for the 2009 race this Sunday... and right now the forecast calls for up to 7 inches of snow over the next few days, and a mix of snow and rain for Saturday and Sunday... with high temperatures in the mid-30's.

Sigh.
