We got the first winter storm of the season on Saturday. I wouldn't care if it broke the record for the amount of snow accumulation, but it was pretty bad. We were at a friend's place on Saturday night, totally caught off guard. I tried to wait out the storm, got impatient, then drove my Honda Civic in a pile of snow. Luckily we had a bag of sand and a good shovel.
We saw 6 inches of snow near Worcester, and the heavy snow downed many trees which still had a lot of green leaf on them.
At home, we lost power for a few hours but many still do not have power. The snow has started to melt already, and almost half of it is gone. October snow never stays for long here.
I never miss a run due to weather. If it is too hot or cold, I will run on my treadmill. But I prefer running outside, and this winter storm was not going to stop me from my planned 10 mile run on Saturday. The storm had not started when I left for the run on Saturday morning, but It was cold, near 30 degrees. Three layers, tights, gloves, wool socks, and a beanie was all that I needed.
Sudbruy schools are closed on Monday due to the Saturday snow storm. Kids could not be happier because Monday is Holloween. Maheen is all ready and excited for trick-or-treat fun. I always take her out for collecting candy, but this year she will be at a Halloween party at one of her class fellow's, and will trick-or-treat there with Zain and mom. Since I am not invited, I will be at home missing the fun :(
