It is now after the snow storm of January 2007. We had seven inches of snow at Sweetwater that was measurable. Some to the north also had seven inches and had one report of six inches. J.E. McGuire reported that they had nine inches of snow at their house.
Sent several photos of the snow to the local TV channels and one of the huge snowflakes to CNN. CNN showed the photo of the huge snowflakes repeatedly Saturday afternoon and evening. However, by the end of the day Rick Sanchez was doubting that the snowflakes were very large. You can judge for yourself how large the snowflakes were by looking at the photo at http://www.theburningbush.org/sweetwaterphotos.html
Toward the top of the photo against the background of the bricks of the house you will see very plainly two huge snowflakes. Other large flakes can be see above the house and to the right side of the house.
KOCO also showed the photo I took Friday of the Haliburton truck trapped on our church parking lot on the ice that still was there Friday morning. The truck had attempted to turn around and had become trapped. He was spinning his wheels again and again but was unable to escape until later in the day.
No church this morning and most likely not tonight although Don Roberts and Bennie Wayne are clearing off the parking lot.
