The topic of conversation prior to the race was of sore backs and snow accumulation at the various locations from the 20+ inch snowstorm on Tuesday. However, Mother Nature intervened with a couple of days of mild conditions and thus the course was clear with just a couple of water jumps. 
          In the men's open division Reed took control from the gun, racing with Brian Goddu over the opening stretch. This was Jason's second Snowstorm victory and his third in as many tries (capturing the Greenfield Winter Carnival Race the week before). The outcome was not settled until the final stretch as Jonathan Wiener (masters division winner) pushed Reed over the latter stages of the course. Dave Wright made it two for three for the Harriers with a string third place showing. The senior division was again locked down by Art Roberts.
          Amongst the women it was our own Mary Misiaszek who took the honors. She finished with a comfortable lead over Colleen Cummings who garnered second. Rounding out the top three was senior division winner Sue Grant.
