This place is not hell, nor even close, but it does get as hot as Hades in the summer and the average temperature in February is a pleasant 67 degrees. I woke up at sunrise on Friday to complete my 100 minutes in the form of an 8 mile run before some friends came into town for tennis camp (which was my weekly adventure last week, post to follow). I was surprised to see clear, blue skies with snow on the ground outside. Not just a little dusting of snow, but a serious white blanket covering my car, driveway and the roads. I guess I wasn't that surprised since many experienced meteorologists and the handy weather app on my iPhone warned me of this event. Since I already have balance issues and tripping concerns while running, I decided running 8 miles on the snow and ice was out of the question. A long walk, bundled up with many layers, to take photographs of the snow coating this little town as the sun rose was a much better option! This makes me want to get up and see the sunrise more often, though I could do without the 20 degrees and snow.
