Like most of the Upper Midwest (and much of the country, it seems), our little town got hit hard by last week’s snowstorm. Below are some pictures I took as editor of the local newspaper. You can click on any of the pictures for a slightly larger view.

The building where I work on the right, as the first wave of snow was just starting to fall on Thursday afternoon

The same location the following morning.

50 miles of state highway that connects our town to the next nearest city was closed for about 10 hours during the height of the blizzard. This is it the next morning, open for business but still deserted. This is the view looking west.




I enjoyed looking at the pictures of the snow storm while enjoying the 80 degree temps in sunny AZ.
