Heavy snow surpassing forecasts, with ice still ahead - baltimoresun.com

Heavy snow surpassing forecasts, with ice still ahead - baltimoresun.com:

Snowfall tops 6 inches in some areas, significantly more than forecast

http://www.baltimoresun.com/news/weather/weather-blog/bs-md-winter-weather-forecast-20131207,0,3336544.story

By Scott Dance and Michael Dresser, The Baltimore Sun 1:51 p.m. EST, December 8, 2013

Several inches of snow had fallen across much of the Baltimore area by midday Sunday, with as much as 5-7 inches in some spots, with ice still ahead as a winter storm that has traveled across the country packed more of a punch in Maryland than forecasters expected.

While a maximum of about 3 inches had been expected, 6 inches or more were measured across parts of Carroll, Baltimore and Harford counties with several inches still to the south. The snow was quickly covering roadways, prompting highway crews to urge motorists to stay home as they fight to keep up with the pace of the snowfall."

Exploring the Westminster Cemetery as a walking-running trail

November 15, 2013 by Kevin Dayhoff

Yesterday I took a look at running at the Westminster Cemetery on North Church Street in Westminster.

In addition to the trails I discussed here on October 22, 2013, http://westminster.patch.com/groups/kevin-e-dayhoffs-blog/p/fall-is-great-for-running-trails-in-carroll-co?yPos=0; I’ve been wondering how many other walking-running trail opportunities in the Carroll County area I have overlooked.

I mean, I walked the blacktop trails at the cemetery marveling at how many times I had visited the historic cemetery and really never considered it as a walking - running trail.

I saw many other walkers and runners. I did not measure any courses. That will be my next step. Although it is in the middle of Westminster, it was amusingly - and amazingly quiet, bucolic and serene. I grabbed a cup of coffee at Birdie's, http://www.birdiescoffee.com/, and really enjoyed a moment or two to myself - in the middle of town. LOL

Find a map here: https://maps.google.com/maps/ms?msid=215239526327018628982.0004eb3bd56ed70f3dc61&msa=0&ll=39.568704,-76.98751&spn=0.00827,0.013711

Meanwhile, I hope to see many of you at the Terry Burk Wakefield Valley Community Trail memorial dedication service and 5K run on Saturday morning, November 16, 2013.

Crawford Captures Burk 5K

On a delightful Saturday morning--when far too many were either recovering from the night before, running cross-country races somewhere else, or prepping for longer races, David Crawford cruised to a narrow win in the second annual Burk Memorial 5K run, held on and around Tahoma Farm Road west of Westminster.

The race is named for candy store owner, runner, and club sponsor Terry Burk, who was killed nine years ago last August when hit by a car which veered off Route 97 onto the shoulder at the entry to Kalten Acres.

Prizes for this year's run were gift certificates to the Treat Shop--his former business, located in the mall across from the movies. The current owner contributed a portion of the cost of the prizes.

The race was originally meant to be conducted along the walking, hiking, biking, running trail which was to be constructed on a line parallel to Route 31 and proceeding from Uniontown Road to the Old New Windsor Pike, a distance of some 3 to 4 miles.

According to Kevin Dayhoff, Westminster mayor and WRRC member, the process of obtaining the necessary land and construction permits has been about as much fun as root canal work without a painkiller.

Thus with only a small portion of the trail, to have been named for Terry Burk, finished, this race involves running an out-and-back portion on Tahoma Farm Road, followed by two loops around a neighborhood, using the completed portion of the Burk Trail as part of the loop.

The field of 14 sprightly runners charged up Tahoma Farm Road, and by the time they returned to begin the first portion of the Burk Trail, Crawford--who works for the Department of Defense at Fort Myer, located near the Pentagon--was locked in a tight race with Tom Yinger, much younger and more local.

At the end of the first trail loop and at the finish line Crawford had a small but definite lead and won by six seconds.

At age 54 he equaled the age of Joe Loveland as the oldest runner ever to have won a club race. Since Crawford missed the awards ceremony because he was out riding his racing bike, there is no way of telling whether he is older than Loveland was when Loveland won for the second time at age 54. Since there is no easy way of determining the oldest winner, Joe agreed to retain the title.

Joe finished third after running most of the way with Chrissy Pennington, who finished as the second female in the 5K run held at the Carroll Hospital Center on September 25, the day before she ran and finished in the female top ten at the Bachman Valley Half-Marathon.

Trailing Chrissy by three and a half minutes was Treasurer-for-Life Liuda Galinaitis, who outkicked Chris Reese for second place.

As is usually the case in club races, the majority of the field, 11 of 14, were in the masters (40 and over category). As a measure of changing times, however, this race involved 7 runners in the 50-59 category, as well as the recently turned 60 Skip Fennell.

The next club race will be the Otterdale Mill 5 Mile Run--to be held on Sunday, October 24. The starting line is near the corner of Trevanion Road and Stonesifer Road, west of Crouse Ford in Taneytown. For more information contact Dan Replogle at 410-756-1654.

Westminster Wakefield trail a fitting site for Terry Burk runner's memorial on Saturday morning, November 16, 2013 [Eagle Archives]...

On Saturday, Nov. 16, members of the Westminster Road Runners Club, as well as friends and family, will honor the memory of Terry Burk on the Wakefield Valley Community Trail.

The observance will be held near the Tahoma Farm Boulder Park and historic Fenby Farm Quarry and Lime Kiln Park at 730 Tahoma Farm Road in Westminster.

[...]

"Over the years the eight-foot wide paved Wakefield Trail, the city's first hiking and biking trail, has developed one leg at a time, inspired in part by the legacy of Burk, who ran with the Road Runners Club for many years. Today, the 2.1 mile linear park trail extends from Long Valley Road to Uniontown Road. Planning began in earnest for the trail in 1994." http://www.baltimoresun.com/news/maryland/carroll/westminster/ph-ce-eagle-archives-1103-20131111,0,434181.story

Westminster Mayor Kevin Utz, members of the Westminster Common Council and a fellow runner, Abby Gruber, Westminster's recreation and parks director, have joined with Community Foundation executive director Audrey Cimino, and other members of the runners club in planning the event…. http://www.baltimoresun.com/news/maryland/carroll/westminster/ph-ce-eagle-archives-1103-20131111,0,434181.story
