Snowstorm Of The Century


Alright, it's a pretty young century, but still it's been many years since Iowa has had such a widespread storm.  The whole state was involved and the statewide average was around 10 inches.  Locally we had 14 to 16 inches.  Four foot drifts were not uncommon in the area, as the winds on Wednesday blew 30 mph plus, with gusts near 50 mph.  

We had a little outside time on Tuesday as the snowfall was beginning.

Measuring the snow late Tuesday afternoon.




Yep, EIGHT inches so far!  And, it's still got a long time to go.


Sort of looks like the Karst stone formations in Guangxi Province.  Well, a little anyway.
