5 pm - light snow and chilly - ran home via the usual commuter route - snow was ending and clouds were thinning as I reached Chautauqua - snow-covered flatirons were lovely - 2-3 inches of new snow on the trail - it was a bit slippery - I had three near misses were I thought I was going to hit the ground hard, but saved myself every time - spooked a herd of mule deer near fire road; a few scurried down the slope while most stood motionless ten feet above the trail until I ran by - nice and easy run in the light powder.
