White Christmas Assured

A snow storm that occurred over the night of Saturday, December 21-Sunday, December 22, 2013, dumped four-plus inches of snow on this location at Boyson Park in Marion, Iowa, near its border with Cedar Rapids. The images show the sky beginning to clear as the snow fall petered out. The top image shows a footbridge over Dry Run Creek around 9:18 AM CST on December 22. The bottom image shows a nearby trail a little over ten minutes later. Air temperature was 23 degrees F.
