This is enhanced by your #1 - the absence of people. I can recall running in a major snow dump (18-24") on a pre-dawn montreal morning, running literally around mont royal in the road, wherever a vehicle kindly left a track. A city paralyzed by a blizzard and I had it (mostly) all to myself! I remember finding a bagel shop open on Fairmont and running the last two miles with a dozen warm bagels and cream cheese tucked under my hoodie. It probably took me two hours to run the 10 miles and when I got back to the apartment people were still sleeping while I at the first raisin bagel staring out at the blizzard. Later when people got up I tried to relay my experience but no one seemed to really understand, but they appreciated the bagels. That run was one of the things I will always remember.
