A heavy wet snow covered the Minonk area Friday night and Saturday causing damage to trees that still have leaves. Around 4 inches of snow was reported and travel was slow and hazardous because of drifting from 20 - 30 mph winds on Saturday. The heavy snow clung to trees making the area into a winter wonderland. This was one of the earliest snow storms to hit the area in years although the weather bureau is calling for a mild winter.
Below are some scenes from the Dave Uphoff farm.
Above is a huge Bradford Pear tree that split apart due to the heavy snow accumulated on its leaves. This is the reason people should not plant Bradford Pear trees.
