And More Snow! February 26th, 2013 Fairway, Kansas

Snow on every branch led to many branches and limbs breaking in the neighborhood.

The last snow storm was an “event” so what do you call it’s encore just 5 days later?  In Kansas and Missouri (Missouri was declared a disaster area) we were again pummeled with about 10 inches snow.  This one was harder to measure since Bob started shoveling at 4:30 in the morning, shoveled again before noon and then shoveled for the third time when it seemed be almost done snowing.  It did snow another 1-2 inches overnight.  This time the snow was very wet and stuck to everything like a thick frosting.

During the storm; we shoveled three times.  The snow was a very dense, wet and heavy snow.DSCN0507 DSCN0503 DSCN0513 DSCN0516 DSCN0519 DSCN0520After the storm I tried to get a few pictures to capture how much snow we really had on the ground…DSCN0525 DSCN0529 DSCN0534 DSCN0538 DSCN0541 DSCN0542 DSCN0545 DSCN0547 DSCN0552 DSCN0553Behind our house a tree was uprooted, toppled over taking a power pole with it.   It caused Mission Road to be closed and  and knocked out power out for hundreds of homes in Fairway.  We were lucky, this time, we did not lose our power. (Usually, it is just the opposite, we are first to lose power and last to be restored.) We did hear the transformer “blow” when we were out shoveling.

Report of power pole going down on Mission Road right behind our house.  We were lucky this time.

Report in Kansas City Star  of power pole going down on Mission Road. We were lucky this time.

Fairway had a contest for most creative snow fort.  Here are a few creations around Fairway:

This was our neighbor, it was right across the street.

Snowed in Fairway, Kansas February 21, 2012 BIG SNOWSTORM!!

February 21, 2013 by shelley

With hardly any snow so far this winter, we thought that this winter would not be one with much snowfall.  But today’s snowstorm is one of the biggest I have ever seen in this area and we have lived here for 29 years.  But a picture is worth a thousand words.  It is currently snowing again, and this measurement is how deep the snow was when we went out about 2:00 p.m. to try and start shoveling our driveway.  We were just 1/4 inch short of 10 inches.

 

Using a 12 inch ruler I measured the snow about 2 pm and we were 1/4 inch shy of of 10 inches of snow.

It was a very heavy snow and it took us a while to clear the driveway.
