...Sometimes Come Around




This is part two of a two part blog about the snow, which appears below. The Weather Service calculated the snow amount at about 10 inches. I'm not sure if that's what we accumulated, or what was the snowfall amount. Because of drifting, we had areas with under and inch of snow and some, as you will soon see, with feet of snow.

This is the same tree that appears in the before shot.




I like to call these Snowdunes:





Just to give you an idea of how deep that drift is:











But, trust me, I'm not complaining. We were pretty lucky. Many parts of Iowa and Southern Minnesota were blanketed with ice before the snow.

We fell under the unfortunate 'blanketed with ice' category. Brett & I went to step on what appeared to be about 6" of snow, and it turned out to be only about 1" of snow over about 5" of ice from freezing rain that had apparently pooled in that area. It was crazy.

P.S. The snow dunes are really cool.

P.P.S. I'm glad to hear that Dennis and his daughter are doing okay. It's crazy that of all the people to have black ice issues it's the people who live in So. California, not the people who live in IA and MN.
