Colton Eighmy, 10, was all smiles Tuesday while giving his snow disk a workout on the steeply sloping hill behind St. Gregory Barbarigo Catholic Church.
The Eighmy family of Maryville was among the dozen or so folks who took advantage of the snow-covered slope descending into a large field behind St. Gregory Barbarigo Catholic Church on Tuesday for a late-morning sledding expedition.
After two days of clouds and falling snow, skies cleared and temperatures rose into the mid-20s yesterday, which made for almost perfect conditions at the popular downhill run.
The National Weather Service is predicting similar weather through at least Sunday, so St. Gregory’s and other local slopes may get quite a workout before school resumes next week after the two-week holiday break.
