Let it snow - part 2

With temperatures in the mid-40s the snow is sinking quickly
Posted by Fred Steiner on Wednesday, February 24, 2021

Lots of photos in today's story -
Today temperatures reached the mid-40s and the past snowfall is a melting minor glacier.

Despite that here are more snowfall memories from Ada Icon viewers. You'd find animals, snow plows, rural scenes, at least one dog attempting to navigate the snow plus a polar bear. Ada can't have snow without polar bears.

In addition, Jenn Hiester provides four scenes as today's featured photos. Thank you to all the viewers who participated in this photo project.
