Snow

Trudging through our heaviest snowfall of the season thus far

MINBURN, IOWA - As we get a bit closer to spring time here in Central Iowa, it's a good time to reflect on the winter we've had so far.  About two weeks ago, we had our largest snow event of the season which dumped over a foot of snow here.  The snow was wet and heavy, and made for quite a serene scene in the woods.  It took some time to dig out from, and only two weeks later most of it had already melted away as mild temperatures returned for a short bit.  On a quick hike through the local county park today, snow shoes were still helpful in a few protected spots but for the most part one can hike pretty freely across most of the trails nearby.
