Wednesday morning's cool weather only lasted a few hours and by Wednesday evening's run the dewpoint was back in the 70s. Friday morning's run was just before some severe thunderstorms came through and Friday ended up being a very pleasant day. But by the time Saturday came along, it was back to warm and humid. Sunday was just awful.

You can have all of our cold weather up here in New England. Did you see clips of the Patriots game. It was snowing. Leaves and snowflakes falling simultaneously!

The Pats game was televised in Houston, I guess because Tennessee was wearing old Oilers' uniforms? The Titans sure played like the old Oilers.
I thought the snow looked pretty cool. After 80 degree dewpoints, I would not complain about an early Nor'Easter. But I guess conditions were pretty tough up at the Bay State Marathon.
