Half PB was on a ghastly October day with overnight wet snow, cold drizzle throughout, long pants + jacket + hat + gloves, a couple of degrees above freezing. 5 minutes after I finished, it started pouring buckets of freezing cold rain.

I don’t know if there is such a thing as long-term acclimatization

I hope there is, because ive live in FL for 4 years and the heat still sucks!
Perfect running weather!
I have done long run @ 0 F before. My water has frozen in the bottles and i have ice on my eyelids and beard. The most beautiful thing in the world!
I can’t “like” that post. 
I have run at 0F with windchills in the negatives.
Love it.
Miss it.
I also have run the day after a massive snow storm in DC back in early 2016. I think we had local accumulation of 2x inches (which is a lot for where i was living). As soon as someone cleaned the road I was out for a run!
That made me smile.

I know, I know.
I lived in DC for 9 years (2007-2016). In that time we saw only 3 storms like that. 2 are top 5, while the other is top 10 EVER.
DC (and the suburbs MD and VA areas surrounding DC) have no idea how to deal with this kind of snow. There are not enough snowplows to clean roads. And they don’t much salt down because that kills the Potomac River.
So while it pales in comparison to many areas, it was a big deal. Everything was shutdown for a week.
But not my running during the one in 2016.
I grew up in McLean…I know well the hysteria that goes on when the area gets even a flake of snow!!
