Champion 10020 , Minnesota Bronze member | Subject: RE: Whine about the weather thread I finally hit the trail yesterday and it was tough! I went out on the crushed gravel kind (Eric - from LA Fitness west to Shady Oak and back) and it was not so packed like it was in years past. I got sick of that so turned early and headed for the plowed streets of Hopkins and was faced with ice - a new fun challenge for the muscles.
I remember really enjoying winter runs, but it seems so very difficult lately! I need to invest in a new pair of Yaktrax or something. I lost one last year and kind of gave up on it, but the stabilization required for icy roads is just too much. |

Master 2802 Minnetonka, Minnesota | Subject: RE: Whine about the weather thread Yeah, the trails have been looking pretty crappy, so I have been staying to the roads. The weather and roads were both great Yesterday. No whining from me! |

Champion 10020 , Minnesota Bronze member | Subject: RE: Whine about the weather thread I was going to say - who would resurrect this thread on a day like today? I biked out into St. Louis Park and the trails were mushy and sometimes thick with snow. Hopkins does a great job of path clearing. Too bad it's only a few miles. |

Expert 2189 Dodge County, MN (out in the corn) | Subject: RE: Whine about the weather thread There's no way to tell how much snow we have gotten. It just keeps whirling around out there. I think there's a drift about 4' tall now between the house and the barn. I'll have to bust through that when I go back out to feed. And since this is whining thread... We had to have the vet out again. Yep, seems like once a year, on the worst possible day, a horse decides he needs to see a vet. This time it was Skipper (our 32 yr old) who seemed to have a achy belly. Since horses can't throw up, an achy belly can turn very serious in a hurry. I spent a couple hours walking him before and after the vet came out. He's fine and only had to have a little shot of pain meds. At his age, we don't mess around though. Happy it worked out for the good. |

Expert 2189 Dodge County, MN (out in the corn) | Subject: RE: Whine about the weather thread Happy to report the old guy is doing fine today. Jeremy is attempting to get the tractor out and start on the driveway. So far, I'm avoiding going out, but I'm sure that will have to end soon. |

That thought is eroding this year We're with you Peteweb. We normally shovel our drive and an ice rink on our lake. I think we'll be getting a snow blower in 2011! |

Expert 2189 Dodge County, MN (out in the corn) | Subject: RE: Whine about the weather thread I'll throw out some whining. As many of you know, I have this ridiculous driveway that's 1/10 mile long and gets wicked drifts from shifting winds. Yesterday Jeremy ran the tractor and snowblower before we went to town. When we got back, it was filled in, but for some (stupid) reason, I tried to power through it...in the Civic. Got stuck and had to shovel the car out. Yes, I know that I've done this exact thing before with the same results. There was a note in the mailbox from the UPS driver that he had attempted delivery but couldn't get down the driveway because of the drifts. Understandable. I called the driver and tried to convince him to come back since we could get it cleared enough for him. No go. I really need that delivery! It's my SNOW tires for the Civic and it looks like I kind of need them. Now it's raining and I can't imagine what a mess that driveway is now with piles of slush all around. Maybe I can convince the UPS dude to drop the tires at the road and we'll pull them in on the hay sled. Why do I live here? |

Expert 1092 St. Paul, MN | Subject: RE: Whine about the weather thread Ha! Yeah silentcs42, I've never been a good whiner. And Emily, I moved my long run up to enjoy the weather! But that means I have intervals tomorrow.... I'm heading to the Coliseum at the State Fair Grounds, and I'll let you know how that goes. |

Expert 2189 Dodge County, MN (out in the corn) | Subject: RE: Whine about the weather thread Good driveway news! Around lunch time, I looked out and saw the propane truck rumbling down the road and turn into the driveway. Right behind him was a brown UPS van. Not wanting to be one-upped by the Greenway truck, UPS dude braved the driveway and delivered my snow tires. I'm sure he would not have come down the driveway if not for the heroic efforts of the Greenway driver. After that, Jeremy scraped some slush around enough for me to get the truck out and do some errands while he put the snow tires on the Civic. Yay, I have snow tires. Too bad it's 40* tonight. |
