Polar Vortex
My region has experienced a fairly sizable snowfall in the span of 24 hours (around 12 inches (30 cm) total). More unusual for us, though was the colder temperatures DURING the snow.... it was close to O degrees during the storm (close to -17 Celcius). This leads to a very "dry" snow that blows around easily. Shoveling and plowing ended up taking up most of my extra time on Monday and much of Tuesday. Now we are in the midst of a "Polar Vortex" where we are having a few days of temperatures dropping to -12 degrees Fahrenheit ( -25 degrees Celcius). This is not so unusual, but the very high winds have made the WIND CHILL FACTOR be around -50 degrees Fahrenheit (-46 Celcius). So, travel is hindered a bit and tends to be as minimal as possible.
I am thankful that our power is still intact and that we have a pleasant, warm home. I did accomplish my 5 mile (8 km) run each day though (on an indoor track)! I am happy about that!

Not as chilly here, but windy enough to keep Himself off his bike.
It seems too damn cold to run in that weather?
Take care and keep warm.

Thank goodness you ran indoors! I heard people were being advised to keep their mouths shut if they had to go outside. But that is so cold. how do you cope? We never get temperatures anything like that.
