Day 58 - It's a beautiful day

Waking up to the snow was great today. It was not enough to stay home from work which I was hoping for:-) I shoveled for a good hour before work and about an hour at work and it felt great to be outside. Living along a heavily traveled road means the snow plow just doesn’t throw the snow in front of your driveway one time. They throw snow it in front of your driveway all night long. It looks like the rest of the snow in your driveway but it is a lot heavier.

What a pretty day for a walk. A lot of the trees still had some snow on them. You could see which way the wind was blowing when the snow was falling during the storm. Only one side of the trees were covered in snow.

View from my walk

Tonight’s run was to get time on my feet and enjoy the views. I drove up to the mountain so I could get to the top before dark. First tracks again to the top after getting to the road hill. There were about 5 or 6 inches of new snow. The conditions are really nice right now and are only going to be getting better with more snow that might be falling this weekend. On the way back down to the parking lot is was dark. I could hear 2 owls which made for a nice finish to my run.
