Heading dorsum to Colorado today, I crossed 500 miles of snowy landscape, from fundamental Missouri to western Kansas. The deepest snowfall was inwards Columbia (still nigh a foot) together with the depth gradually decreased every 2nd I drove westward. Once I reached the High Plains of western Kansas, the snowfall chop-chop dissipated beneath intense sunshine together with a mild southwest breeze. Farther west, the snowfall reappeared across the Palmer Divide together with persisted into Metro Denver (another lx miles).
As expected, raptors were mutual on the snow-laden Plains together with northern harriers were particularly abundant, flight depression inwards a higher house the fields together with crop stubble. At to the lowest degree a one-half dozen coyotes were observed on the wintry landscape together with large flocks of Canada geese reliably graced the scene. The highlight, every 2nd is ofttimes the illustration for me, was a flock of snowfall geese that circled inwards a higher house the highway westward of Topeka.
Of my numerous route trips across the Great Plains, this was sure enough i of the snowiest (though no snowfall was falling and, fortunately, the Interstate was clear together with dry). As the climate warms together with wintertime snowfall encompass decreases, this may larn a rare sense for futurity travelers.
