Life In Iowa - February 2011

A Busy Time for Tractor Boys

This picture is posted here to provide a reference point. It was taken in July and clearly shows no snow.

As you can quickly ascertain from this picture, there is plenty of snow in Clayton County Iowa. Please be aware that this is not a staged snow event. This is how it looked during the first few days of February 2011.

Remember the first picture of this post. It was taken from the same vantage point as this one, only slightly higher. On February 1, 2011, when this picture was taken you could not see the nearby farm.

As a former Iowa Tractor Boy in my Youth I cannot recall as much Snow as this area of Northeast Iowa is experiencing this the Winter of 2011.
