How do you streak runners manage on really bad weather days? (self.running)

I’m trying to get into streak running, but when I get hit with a day that has terrible weather (ice rain, smoke from Canada being on fire, etc) I am unsure what to do. And I don’t own a treadmill or have a gym membership. Do you just have very specific gear for those days or what? Any motivation tips and gear tips?

The best thing i ever bought for running in shitty weather is thick, waterproof socks. Keeps my feet warm and dry in the worst winter slushy conditions..

I accidentally stepped into a slushy, freezing puddle yesterday and my feet stayed dry and warm

Do you have a recommended brand? I don't think I've ever seen any socks like that!

I had never even heard that this kind of thing exists. You just blew my mind.
