The Neverending Story

This has been the story for the winter of 2013-2014. One snowstorm with trailing cold after another. The latest edition was this winter system that dropped about 5 inches of snow in the Cedar Rapids/Marion area from Sunday night (February 16, 2014) to Monday morning (February 17). I had Monday off for President's Day so I was able to photograph the event at Boyson Park in Marion, Iowa, near the border of Cedar Rapids. At times, in order to obtain desired perspectives, I needed to wade through knee-deep snow. The top image looks south and was shot around 11:00 AM. The middle image looks west and was shot around 11:18 AM. Temperatures were around 26 degrees F. The bottom image is a radar capture of the storm system, shortly after the middle photo was taken and shows the snow beginning to taper off as it continues east.
