Winter Not Done Yet

As has been the trend the past several months of March in Eastern Iowa, winter has been reluctant to move on. Snow is falling in the image above, captured at 7:06 pm CST, Saturday, March 11, 2023, looking west over Bowman Woods Park in Cedar Rapids, Iowa. Cedar Rapids would receive about 1.5 inches of snow by the time the event ended the following day.
