If you saw my runfessions, you know we did get snow and sleet and freezing rain last weekend, creating what is aptly being called snowcrete.
The snowcrete is so solid Scooby doesn’t make pawprints!
Basically, whatever surfaces did not get cleared by Monday are buried under 6”-9” blocks of solid, frozen, iced-over snow that require heavy tools to break up—leave your shovel and grab a pick-axe. To top it off, we are officially in a deep freeze. Our high temperatures have been in the 20s, plummeting into single digits overnight, so it’s not melting anytime soon. 🥶
Well, it’s already the last day of the first month of 2026. Luckily I don’t have to brave icy roads to get to the runfessional at Marcia’s Healthy Slice. Join me as we cleanse our souls soles before we head into the second month of the year.

By the time this goes live we’ll have more insight into just what the storm has in store for us. 12 hours out they are calling for 5”-9” snow followed by 1/4”-1/2” ice with temperatures staying in the 20s all week. 🥶
The Capital Weather Gang forecast
As usual, I live near the edge of a milder forecast (along the blue/light blue border) but we’ve stocked up and are ready to be stuck at home for a while—the Federal government already decided to close offices in the D.C. area on Monday
We’re barely mid-way through January and social media already has given up on 2026 to look back on 2016 instead. 😉 I’m not active on Insta and don’t even have a TikTok account, but I’ll play along here.

It was a week before the snowplows made it up our hill!
