Do
you remember 2013? In today's throwback Thursday picture, we travel
back in time eight years to the fourth Thursday in March and found
snow! Yes, the weekend before that Thursday, Logan County
experienced a very large snowstorm. There were at least nine inches
of the heavy wet white stuff around the area with some areas
reporting up to 13 inches.
LDN asked for photos, and readers were happy to oblige, including
this cute shot that made the top picture spot on the Community page.
The 2013 caption read: "Jennifer Malerich sent in this lovely
picture of daughter Molly building her "snowgirl." Jennifer wrote:
"Molly Malerich was hard at work creating her new snowgirl friend
'Eleanor' while Mom was busy shoveling."
