Today it hit 42 degrees for the high. Finally we were able to get out and enjoy the snow for a while, throwing snowballs, making snow angels, basically just enjoying being outside.
Tomorrow is February, which means we’ve only really got another six weeks of real winter left. Woohoo!
There are more photos in the set on Flickr.
Man, for a cold as it's been, you really don't have much snow. The snow we have here would come 1/3 to 1/2 of the way up to your windows we see in the last picture. They would be tunneling under instead of playing on top of the snow.
Roger, yeah, while it's been a rather snowy winter for us here in Iowa, we got the blessing of a warm-up near the end of December that really melted the first batch off. What we have left now is really just the January snowfall. If it gets as warm as they're saying it will by next week, this batch will have melted off, too.
It would be nice if it melts off gradually this year… would reduce the risk of flooding a lot.
