I am pretty sure that it snowed on Saturday…
I thought that it snowed fairly hard. I thought that we got 4″ in 4 1/2 hours…
The morning paper said that Pratt, KS got 28″.
Maybe I was just hallucinating…
This evening, just 24 short hours later, the only proof is the piles that the snow plows made. Nearly everywhere else, the snow is gone! And, it wasn’t like today was a real scorcher…35-40°.
There are several damaged trees. Right near our house is a flowering pear tree with a 10″ diameter trunk split in two. I’m afraid that the strain of the snow coupled with the flowers was more than it could bear. (think Doc Holliday in Tombstone after he shot Johnny Ringo).
My two kid’s can prove that it snowed hard on Saturday. Their school postponed the Prom. And, in a cruel twist of fate, today, they watched all of their hopes for a snow day tomorrow melt before their very eyes. It is so difficult to be a young adult!
