Siblings Jaylee and Carter Bannister, the children of Rusty and Jolene Bannister of Hiawatha, along with their canine helper Bella had fun building their snowman on Sunday.
The alpacas — armed with their coats of wool-like fiber — don’t mind the cold one bit and are curious about the snow in the trees at Grace Acres Ranch.

A mid winter storm dropped several inches of snow in Northeast Kansas on Saturday.
Snow started mid-morning and continued throughout the day, as large flakes silently dropped. While the ground was still a little warm and temperatures hovered right around freezing during the daytime hours, some snow melted, but eventually 3-4 inches had piled up by Sunday morning when the town awoke.
Only two churches canceled services completely and another held only a later service. City and school crews got out to clean roads and parking lots to get the town ready for a normal workweek on Monday.
With temperatures hovering around freezing once again on Sunday, the heavy wet snow was perfect for sledding and snowman making as local residents went outdoors to have some winter fun.
While it wasn’t a foot and a half that our Nebraska neighbors received, it was just enough to shovel and play in.
A slight dusting of snow was expected mid-week with more accumulations south of Hiawatha and the temperatures were expected to remain mild with an Arctic front coming in to cool off late January.
Several local residents have shared photos and videos to the Hiawatha World. We have attached some here and additional ones can be found on the Hiawatha World Facebook.
