A March Blizzard

A blizzard struck and we didn’t know it was coming. Last week when it was sunny and in the upper 30’s, the weather man predicted 1-3 inches of snow possibly on Tuesday. He was off by about 10 inches. On Monday the snow started at about 10 a.m. and didn’t stop until early Wednesday morning. Temperatures dropped from 30 to -20 in little over a day. It was clear on Tuesday we weren’t going anywhere for a while.

The cold temps and windy snow didn’t stop us from going outside for some hiking. Some of my family came to visit on Monday and I lead them on a hike at the start of the big snow fall. I’ve included some pictures.
