February Snowstorm


After a week of spring-like temperatures (30˚- 50˚ for us qualifies as spring-like), we were hit by another big snowstorm, this one dropping over 12" of snow in twelve hours. The driving conditions were terrible; the gusting winds and snowfall greatly reduced visibility and the snowplows did not seem to be out in force. At least it hit on the Sunday before Presidents' Day, so there was less traffic.
In the photos, you can see how the snow accumulated over a 12 hour period. Elizabeth's friend Yumna ended up staying the night because the roads were impassable.
