Let it snow

Here's how Icon viewers will remember February's 9.5 inches of snow
Posted by Fred Steiner on February 23, 2021 - 4:19pm

The past few weeks haven’t been much fun as temperatures stayed below freezing for two weeks in tandem with the heavy snowfall.

Despite that, Icon viewers answered the call for snow photos last week. We received nearly a dozen photos and every one of them has a story to tell.

When 9.5 inches of snow covers the ground what else is there to do expect go outside and play – if you are a dog.

Or, you can take photos of the snow from inside your house or outside, especially after you’ve successfully cleared your drive way.
