Cloudy dusty day in STL

[South Park Zephyr]

The Model T Club of Greater St. Louis brought 7 cars to the the Patrick’s Day parade on 3/15.
We awoke to an overcast day after the terrible storm rolled thru the area the night before. All of the dirt that was kicked up coming across the plains made for a dreary looking day. We compensated by having a great time. The parade was a bit off from past years and made for some confusion as to where and when we were supposed to meet, but in the end we made it, and the crowds seemed to be enjoying the show. The parade ended at our usual lunch stop, so all of our cars seemed to know to turn into the parking lot on their own.
At the staging area, the way we parked reminded me of several of the pictures that are posted on the forum from earlier days before everyone parks parallel to each other, so it was our way to keep old traditions alive.

We were blessed with wind gusts to 60 MPH and visibility down to about 1/2 mile. It was much worse elsewhere, with gusts reaching 90 MPH and visibility near zero. On the positive side, there were no fires in this immediate area. Countless tons of soil were moved from one place to another. I have brush cover here, so I probably gained a few tons.
