Snow at Fort Marcinko

Nearly 5 inches of snow fell out at the Fort on Valentines Day 2004. Very weird, as it was a somewhat warm winter, and when this stuff comes, it usually ends up being sleet or ice or freezing rain or anything but snow. None the less, this late Winter Wonderland was the most snow accumulation in the last 25 years. Fun as it was, it was mostly gone by the end of the day.
