December 2009 Snow in Kansas

On Tuesday December 8th we experienced a large snow storm in north central Kansas with between 12 to 15 inches of snow falling and strong winds which drifted the snow. Along with the snow were bitter cold temperatures and wind chills far below zero. This was a small portion of a huge storm system that brought extreme Winter weather to around two thirds of the United States. Here are a few photos I took in the morning after the storm ended.






This country road had big drifts which were too big to make it through even with a tractor.
