January 31, 2011 the weather forecasters terrorized us all day long, no, make that most of the week, predicting a massive ice storm followed by snow. It was so dire that businesses and schools let out early, restaurants closed for the night. The weather was supposed to hit just before rush hour and continue sleeting, icing all night turning finally to snow.
Well, it didn't happen exactly that way. The ice came slowly and didn't really hit til well into the night, but it did come as did the snow. Dale, Ferdie and I took a walk around 6:30 in the evening on the 31st and had Demun all to ourselves, it was beautifully eerie.
It snowed most of February 1 and most everyone just stayed inside.
Then February 2 we all came out to a bitter cold and quite a bit of snow on top of inches of crusty sleet.
Seminary staff and students worked to make things walkable and driveable, but as I recall, it was windy and very very cold.
Today will be in the high 60's. What a difference a year makes. The links show a more complete picture of last year.
