A cold day at Richwood Park

A burst of winter weather, including a dusting of snow and single-digit temperatures, settled into the area this weekend. Richwood Park was fairly empty Saturday afternoon as 20-30 mph winds moved through the county. Though the icy weather kept kayakers off the lake, it didn’t stop the geese from going for a swim.
