What's winter running in MN like?

 

 

What's it's like to run in Dec in Minnesota in -6 (-12 with wind chill), with 2 feet of snow? Well, I had Candice take a few pictures today. Today was exceptionaly snowy on the sidewalks with 1 to 6 inches in parts. It was worse than running on a beach actually. My outfit includes thermal polar tights with thermal pants over them, a wicking long sleave top, with a normal long sleeve top, with a fleece pullover, with a winter windbreaker on top, with my reflective vest as the last layer as it is dark at 4:45 here. The head gear includes a full face ski mask with hat and thermal biking gloves. It's almost a full load of laundry when I'm done!!
