Runners braved a surprisingly fierce snowstorm Saturday as they competed in the Celtic Canter 5k, part of Westminster’s Irish Festival, which was canceled Friday in anticipation of wintry weather. In addition to Saturday’s 5k race through downtown Westminster, a one-mile Leprechaun Chase was run as well as a .5k run. Carroll County got several inches of accumulation from Saturday’s snowstorm.
