I'm in Western Pennsylvania and it's pretty rough to run in the winter. I have a combination that works pretty well in the snow and ice. I wear gaiters to keep my socks dry and I drill screws into the bottom of my shoes to keep from slipping on the snow and ice. Staying warm and covered is the key. Today it was 1 degree F. Those first few breaths of air can really hurt!!!! Keep on running!!!! May will be here soon :-)
Thanks, that's great advice. 1 F, that's extremely cold, I have not ran in a cold like that before. I'm not sure if It will get that extreme that I'll have to drill screws in the soles of my shoes though, but the gaiters are a great advice for when I have to run in snow again. If you see my other running posts, I tend to run in forrests where it's very muddy and lies 30cm of snow. I agree with staying warm, although if you run fast enough you don't even notice the cold anymore if you're dressed well and a nice hot shower afterwards does miracles. You keep running as well, I'd love to read your posts in those conditions.
I will get some pictures of a run this weekend and my shoes with screws in them! We are supposed to get some snow tomorrow.
Cool, I look forward to seeing it.
