Please tell me I get points for trying...
Went out just now, we've got about 3 inches of snow and the roads aren't plowed. My routes are pretty hilly, and people don't drive very courteously up here... So I turned around after about 1/4 mile and came home.
Does anyone else scrap runs due to bad weather, or am I just chickens--t?

Yes, you get points, and, no, you aren't chicken.
Unless there's a blizzard, if it's snowing I'll run. I won't run if it's below zero (especially from wind chill), or if there's ice everywhere. Otherwise I'll pretty much go.

Ok, gretriever. You guilted me into it. 4 wretched, calf cramping, crazy-snow-plow-man dodging miles in the painfully slow time of 51:28.

I'm happy for you for doing that run, RLAG. Iit will make you better in the long run. But it wasn't my intent to guilt you into it. I don't have the natural ability (running-wise) that some here have to ever guilt someone into doing something running-related. I do that running because I need to - it's in my blood.

True dat. But you and I can and do do this to ourselves. That's what RLAG did today I think. And sometimes it's a good thing as we both know too.

Oh, heavens, I wasn't entirely serious!  Believe me, if I don't wanna do something, NOTHING is going to make me do it. One of my more charming qualities, if I do say so myself!
That snow plow guy WAS crazy, though...
