Scenes from my winter run

It's been cold here since the beginning of December.. we had a really divine fall. Like an ideal fall, the weather was insanely perfect and everyone knew it had to end, but no one wanted it too. My last run in shorts and a tank was November 27, coincidentally also my birthday, since then I have been running in the cold all bundled up.

There have been a few scattered days of sunshine and temps in the 30s and 40s but it feels like so few and far between. If I had to describe this winter I would say it's really what you think of as winter, cold, snowy and miserable.

Here are a few scenes from my winter running
 

All that snow does make for pretty pictures though.  I have been running on snow packed roads a lot.

 As long as it isn't icy, it's pretty good to run on

These are what I think of as the colors of winter, whites, browns, and blues in the sky

 and the muted green of the evergreens.

 but I love it best when the skies are the achingly beautiful endless blue.

I don't think I would want to live somewhere that doesn't have the 4 very distinct seasons.

The snow globe look is pretty too
