“It hit just in time for the weekend so I could take the kids out sledding. It’s cold, but they’re having a blast” said Walter R. Clemens, local dad of three kids.
Clemens took his kids out to Miner Park in Glen Carbon for sledding. The park seemed to be a popular spot for sledding with the nice hills it offered.
“Once the roads cleared up, I figured I had to get the kids out before it started melting,” said Clemens.
By Tuesday afternoon it looks like most of the snow will be melted away. Something many are pretty excited about, with hopes of no more snow this winter and a bit warmer weather. Though disappointingly to many, warm weather isn’t expected anytime soon, according to local forecasts.
“We’re probably gonna go get hot chocolate after this” Clemens added.
There may be another chance for sledding next weekend if the weather turns out like predicted. There’s a possibility of five inches of snow this coming Saturday, though frigid temperatures are expected on Sunday that will keep everyone indoors.
