"Due to too much snow, we have cancelled the Snow Show this afternoon."

A few weeks ago I learned about a special event on snow that was going to be held today at the Natural History Society of Maryland. I was thinking about going because it seemed really interesting.

From the event announcement:

"At this Nature Connections we will be taking an in-depth look at snow and learning all about how Wilson “Snowflake” Bentley took his 1885 iconic snowflake photographs. Martin Schmidt will demonstrate how snow forms in the atmosphere and grows into storms. And in a special presentation, Kathy Hrechka will be showing us her approach of photographing snow with a process called photomicrography."

But it has snowed so much in the area this weekend that they had to cancel it.
