Congratulations on getting interviewed during your run! I'm sure viewers were wondering if you were barefoot after seeing the prints you left in the snow.
On Sunday, we had some snow flurries down in SC and as I had never run in falling snow, I went for a short barefoot run. We didn't have any accumulation, but I enjoyed running through the snowflakes. I believe it's the first time I've ever felt snowflakes hitting my eyes.

Cool! It is fun running in the snow, even though I prefer summer! I have ran barefoot in snow many times, it all depends on the temperature and if the snow is nice and fluffy.

Good for you for running barefoot in the snow!

I'm from Alaska where even the locals
have footwear in the winter.
Retirement in Seattle is much more conducive
to running barefoot. In fact, temperatures up
to 97oF were the impetus for my first barefoot
marathon at the Goodwill Games here in 1990
when I figured running barefoot might be better
than all the blisters I'd probably be getting
from sweaty socks in overheated shoes.
A practice run of 13.1 miles went well enough
for me not to have to rely on the shoes I'd stashed
at three strategic points along the marathon course.
ps - any doubts about not running in the snow and ice
were fully dispelled some years ago with a posting
on his blog of beat-up, bloody feet
by Barefoot Rick Roeber.
