Fifteen minutes into my run this morning it starts to spit rain drops and by mile 4 I'm running in a full fledged SNOW STORM. The next two hours were nothing but big, wet, white flakes all around. What a great way to start a day. Thank God I learned not to wear any cotton when I run 'cause there was a 10 MPH breeze blowing, too. Guess its almost time to put away the shorts and get out the skis!

it is 72° outside right now. I spent the entire day outside...ran most of the Bradbury Mountain course, spent a few hours marking the course, and then raked leaves while listening to the Patriots pound on the Dolphins. This just ain't right for this time of year here in Maine.

No kidding. I just went hiking in Topsham in shorts and a t-shirt. It's frickin October, right??

Yup, it's October. It's 77 here today - coldest it's been in awhile. Beautiful running weather.

It was 80 degrees here yesterday, too but it can change quickly. I agree,that's just too warm for late October. Obviously, none of the snow lasted, but it makes for a pretty run.

I love the snow and can't wait until it starts here. I was out last night in a t-shirt. (yup evil cotton it was laundry night) and shorts. 8 pm and it was 15 degress C. Just not right. Should be in a light jacket at least.

DB7, Thanks, but ... If you're on Alberta shouldn't you be skiing instead of running? Cool

See ya when you get back.

CO and MI both have such spastic weather! We can easily go from 80s one day to 50s the next. Today is in the 50s and 2 days ago was in the mid-70s. The worst part is what it does to allergens and my sinuses. I'm so jealous that skiing season is about to start for you guys. If I lived in CO I'd be hard-pressed to get any runs in during the Winter months. I think I'd be skiing as much as possible (though I'd have to be wealthy to afford the gear and lift tickets, I suppose). k

My daughter in Juneau said she played soccer and it was hailing ("perfect soccer weather Mom"). I on the other hand ran this morning in VA in 80 degrees and my clothes are still wet. Time for this cold-weather gal to get back home and get the cleats out of storage...YEA!!!
