Spring 2013 Newsletter

THE SCOTT COUNTY HISTORICAL SOCIETY

February 2013

As I write this newsletter today (Feb. 22^nd), the sun is reflecting off the bright white SNOW. We didn’t get the big snow the weatherman predicted for us, but it was good snow cover and welcome moisture. Those of us who have been around awhile know that winter is not over. I’m not forecasting an Easter blizzard, but two of the most memorable blizzards in my lifetime started on the 23^rd of March – one in 1957 and another in 1987. (Easter is March 31^st . . .)
