Snow Event In KC
For several days there has been a prediction of snow beginning at 3pm on Saturday. Well at 2:30pm, the snow started to fly. Just light snow, but it continued and continued. Even this morning, there was a little snow coming down. At our house, we had 3 1/2″. The prediction was for 3-6″. It was very damp snow as the temperatures didn’t go much below freezing, and soon after dawn, crept upward to the high 30’s. Here are some pictures taken early this morning.
Once the driveway and walks were shoveled, it was time to play. I have always been a fan of Calvin & Hobbs, written and drawn by Bill Watterson. One of my favorites of Calvin’s continuing saga is his snow art. His perspective was just a little different than most kids. So I thought I would try and replicate a couple of them.
Well close, but no cigar. Anyway it was fun, and we now have a neighborhood full of snow people as the neighbor kids have built their own. Always nice to start a trend like this. Here are a couple of those pictures.
