Snow above and below the Tropic of Cancer

Johnbo, who is the creator of this “Winter” Challenge, lives in North Dakota and you can find his photos HERE. Since I grew up in South Dakota, I should have fabulous photos of snow that sometimes got so high that they dug a tunnel under it down main street with tunnels into the various stores. I remember one storm where the snowbanks around our house were so high that I could open the window of my second story bedroom and step out onto the snow!  Later in my life I lived in Wyoming twice…first for 5 years and then again for 7 years, and although I have stories of snow, I don’t think I ever took any photos.  What snow I experience now is when I visit Wyoming, so I”m off in search of possible snow shots there. Click on photos for captions and closer views.

Sheridan, Wyoming–the only snow I have been able to walk through for the past 23 years.

    Wow Judy, those stories of tunnels and stepping out from an upstairs window into snow sound so incredible and fun for someone like me living in the tropics. Sweltering right now!

    Thanks for sharing.

      I did, although it shows cold weather over most of Mexico today in predictions. A bit chilly here today. I had the space heater on during my massage. Luckily the lake I live on gentles the weather! Not to mention the hot mineral springs that fill my pool and hot tub.
