February came in like a lion, remaining that in that animal form for three weeks.

And, without warning, a lamb took its place on the 22nd and has yet to leave.

According to Guy Verhoff, Pandora weather observer, the 28-day month began with a low of 8 degrees on Feb. 3 and ended with a high of 61 degrees on Feb. 28, a welcome 53-degree improvement.

Yet, during a 21-day stretch from Feb. 1 to 21, the temperature topped above freezing only twice, on the 4th and 21st.

Here's how Icon viewers will remember February's 9.5 inches of snow

  • /

The past few weeks haven’t been much fun as temperatures stayed below freezing for two weeks in tandem with the heavy snowfall.

Despite that, Icon viewers answered the call for snow photos last week. We received nearly a dozen photos and every one of them has a story to tell.

When 9.5 inches of snow covers the ground what else is there to do expect go outside and play – if you are a dog.

Or, you can take photos of the snow from inside your house or outside, especially after you’ve successfully cleared your drive way.
