Haddock Po` Boys

Two Feet:

and finally what the weather guy REALLY meant this morning

Lucky for us, we didn’t get that 2’ of snow and hopefully we won’t get it until after the holidays.   Some parts of New York DID get it or WILL get it before the end of the week.  I’m not ready to face the challenges that snow covered roads bring on foot or on wheels. 

This morning, with thoughts of slippery sidewalks, I took the dogs on a 3 mile run. To my surprise and even though it was cold enough, there was very little ice.  It did start snowing  and blowing something wicked on our run back home.  It was only a 3 miler so I was ready to endure any challenge for 30 minutes.   We did ok. Felt ok.  Jogged along at an easy pace ok. It was an OK morning.   Now, just have to hope the rest of this cold, wintery week works out the same.
