Leeds Happenings this Week!

Happy January!  Check Out Leeds Happenings This Week:

January has already begun with plenty of winter weather (bur-r-r-r-r)!  It was exciting to see a little snow on Monday without too much of a disruption in our schedules since the ground was still so warm from our summer-like weather during the holidays.  What do people say?  If you don't like the weather in Alabama, just wait a couple of hours!  That's so true, but anyway, there were plenty of happy kids who had the opportunity to play in the snow (which is a rare occurrence in Leeds)!

The City of Leeds had the excitement like other northern Alabama cities on Monday with some beautiful snow! It began snowing | Leeds Alabama

Check out the photo of downtown Leeds as the snow began to flurry.  This photograph was captured by a Leeds resident, Mason Williams, who gave us permission to share.  Thank you, Mason, for sharing.
