Before The Snow Flew…And During

This image, a two-photo stitch, looks north from Alburnett Road, about .8-mile north of County Home Road, and north of Marion, Iowa at 3:26 pm, Friday, November 20, 2015. Miniature flakes of snow had just begun to filter downward as the first significant snowstorm of the season approached.

32 minutes later, this was the scene at Boyson Park near the border of Marion and Cedar Rapids, Iowa. Heavier snow was now falling, and when the system vacated the area the next morning, some 7 inches of snow had covered the ground. Air temperature for the top image was 33 degrees F. By 10:50 pm the following day (November 21), air temperature was 7 degrees F. Nikon D5000 DSLR camera.
