Minus 13 degrees and 6.7 inches of snow.

Those two facts answer the two questions on most people’s minds in Ada today.

Q: How cold was it?
A: Minus 13 early Monday morning.

Q: How much snow did we get?
A: 6.7 inches on Saturday.

The weather stats are from Guy Verhoff, Pandora weather observer.

That -13 is 1 degree colder than the coldest temperature reported in 2018. But it doesn’t match  -16 in 2009 or  -19 in 2014. Yet, it is 68 colder than January 2019 high of 55 on Jan. 8.

“I prefer winter and fall, when you feel the bone structure of the landscape. Something waits beneath it; the whole story doesn’t show.”

This quote by Andrew Wyeth best explains the photos in the series of snow in rural Ada. You can feel the bone structure of the landscape.

You can also see things in the landscape – like the trees in the background and the shadows cast on the snow – that you don’t see otherwise.

These photos were taken by Icon viewer Deborah East-Blevins. These scenes are from County Road 10 in rural Ada.
