Heavy snow on Thursday, the second storm in mid — March, was wet and wonderful, giving area children and adults the opportunity to experiment with arctic construction projects and snow sculpture. Examples were in evidence all across Marion County. After several hours of work, Josh Montgomery, Sonja Steinborn, Kristin Steinborn, Clinton Jeffrey, and Josh Kelsey came with an igloo on Walnut Street in Marion. What appeared to be a pile of snow actually was a hollow shell in which they all could fit. It was a wonderful experience for the youngsters.
