Cold Weather Running

Cold weather running should not be a problem in Highlands - I see photos of runners in New England regularly getting out in MUCH worse weather than we have had this year. Yesterday I ran four miles at 2:00 p.m. - the warmest predicted time of day - and I was actually a little over-dressed.  Why run at 9:00 a.m. at 25 degrees when it is 40 degrees in the afternoon?  A little common sense and a good weather forecast can get us out on what initially seem to be miserable running days.  And we get to see a beautiful world transformed by ice and snow, like the hoar-frost that was icing on the cake earlier this week.  Beautiful:
