Today, Madison officially has broken the record for snowiest winter ever. Last week, we had a storm that dumped over 13 inches on Madison and 18 inches in Janesville. It crippled roads, shut down schools and businesses and led to a 12 hour back-up on the Interstate. Even my travel back from San Diego was affected. I flew into Minneapolis and all flights to Madison were canceled. I think I snagged the last one-way rental car available and drove nearly 4 hours to get home. Fun stuff.
Over the weekend, we had some nasty wind chills along with blowing snow. Today, we have gotten 3 inches of new snow and it's still coming. And, if that's not enough snow for you, there is another 4-7 on tap for Thursday. Ugh.
Don't get me wrong - I LOVE snow! I like to be outside in it. It makes winter 'pretty' rather than brown and grim. But, I am so sick of driving in it! Roads are terrible and driving has become quite dangerous. Lots of ice under the snow and no sign of a warm-up to help rid us of some of it.
Fortunately, I get to run with Peter tonight. We are resuming our regular Tuesday evening run after a few weeks off. And we are doing it like only we can - in 4 inches of new snow, ice and some chilly temps.
Stay tuned for a full run report!
