2005 Iowa City in Snow
December 2005 broke all records for snow and cold
in Iowa City. This starkly beautiful winter wonderland -- so hard to
imagine during the blazing heat of summer -- is truly wonderful to behold.
Here are some pictures of the Iowa City Airport,
and Iowa City itself, after several major snow storms.
