Schaefer Winter

December was one of the coldest, snowiest winters on record in South Bend. With 43 inches for December, South Bend had the 2nd most snow on the ground in the nation. The snow was so thick we all worried about our roofs. Most roads lost 6 feet of width.

Now at the end of January, you can still see most of December's snow and for the first time we are getting a little new. At least most of the roofs have shed most of the snow load thanks to the helpful sun and days that hovered at 27-33 degrees F.

Here are a couple of images from our winter.
