First Snow of the Century
After a [bitter cold snap], the temperature warmed up to a balmy
30 degrees as the snow fell for the first time of this century on January 20, 2000.
And although a snowy low overcast covered our area, the rest of the country at 11:00
p.m. view a unique lunar eclipse in the winter sky. About 4 a.m., the sky cleared
unveiling a bright moon over a snowy blanket, as the icy wind and sub-freezing cold
returned.
Here are some photos taken around our town
covering about a 24 hour span. [Click here] for more pics of
