Winter at Growing Family Fun
Saturday, March 27, 2010 posted by editor
The 2009-2010 Iowa winter was certainly a memorable one. It was the third snowiest winter with 69 inches of snow. The all-time record is 72 inches set in 1911-1912.
Iowa also set a new record for consecutive days with at least four inches of snow on the ground. The old record of 54 days was set in 1961-1962. As of Feb. 11, Iowa had snow cover for 65 consecutive days.
As you can see, the Red Shed at Geisler Farms was surrounded by snow all winter long. A path had to be dug to the front door. It was three to four feet deep on the north side.
The patio on the south side of the Red Shed was also completely covered with snow. You could not see the swings after the third snowstorm.
