Snow @ Iona House

We had a cold storm come through that dumped about 10-12 inches of snow at Iona House. Typically we get about 5-6 storms a year that drop a nice, pretty dusting of 1-6 inches, which usually goes away in a day or two. This was a more substantial storm.

The pictures (below) don’t do it justice. It’s absolutely stunning. Looked like a winter wonderland. It was already starting to melt when I was there taking pictures (for which I’m grateful). We love the elevation of Iona House because of the four distinct seasons that we experience. We’re also grateful that it’s not too extreme in any one of these seasons. This allows us to be a 12 month-a-year retreat center.

Oh, and yes, the “miracle tent” is still standing after all this snow - with no observable damage. Praise God!

Here are some pictures of the other side of the campus (the part we don’t yet own) in the snowstorm that preceded this most recent blast 2 days ago. These are courtesy of the ladies who live in these homes who are selling them to us right now as part of our PHASE II capital campaign.
