Windless Hill



We had a beautiful 6" snow last night. This morning it was near 30 with absolutely no wind. I think we were either in the eye of the eternal Nebraska windstorm, or we got lucky and experienced the 30-minute window when the wind changes from south to north.




For some reason the Lincoln city snow plows had acutally plowed the streets with their blades down and made the streets passible. We took advantage of the fortunate conditions and went sledding at Pioneers Park. The tobogan run wasn't crowded and the snow was perfrect. The boys sledded until they couldn't walk up the hill any more (and JP's feet were frozen).


By the time we left, there was a line on the slides, the wind had picked up out of the north, and it was getting crowded enough to be dangerous flying downhill on a snow tube.

Hey, TP, can you fix the link for the photos so we can see all of you flying down the hill?
