FINALLY Looking Like Winter in MN... on Valentines

I was hoping to get in some speedwork on the track shortly, so yesterday's morning contained a detour to check out the St. Thomas track. It's rare that it's clear mid-winter like this, but it's been a DRY and WARM winter around here. So I did a lap on the track to learn that it would be PERFECT for intervals tomorrow morning:

An easy game of "spot the track."

But then I got home yesterday morning after that run to turn on the morning news and hear that we should be getting 2-5 inches of snow that evening. And yep, we started getting that snow around 4 pm last night.

View out our back door at 9:30 last night.


Snow piling up on our clothes line, fence, and neighbor's back step.

So there goes my clear track for tomorrow's speedwork. D'oh.
