Bored runner? Want to try something new? Running in the snow

Now its snowing across the UK and a lot of people will use that as an excuse to stop running for a bit. I've done it before. However, today I went out for a walk in the snow and was almost finished and thought "f*ck it what the hell lets go for a run". It was very satisfying. I highly recommend it. Even wearing a thick padded coat and an almost empty bergen without drinking anything I completed it with relative ease. Now of course you need to look out for ice but where I am its still snowing so no chance of ice any time soon..... Give it a try if you're looking to try something new with your runs. Now granted I'm a keen runner albeit I've been struggling lately with the cold weather and I usually have to do it before seven in the morning but I think this is a good way to make the most of the weather. I did just under 3KM in not a bad time
I think I would freeze my fingers off.

Even with gloves I still feel the cold enough to be put off. Yes they are thick gloves too.
Just be careful because of the ice.

I've been running these last few days in the snow storm (down to -3 ish, -10 with wind chill), my face gets cold but I don't really notice it unless I'm running into the wind, and it's satisfying to have done! And I don't get too hot and sweaty which I hate
