Peabody Duck Enjoy A Day In The Snow

Peabody Duck Enjoy A Day In The Snow

Snow fell over much of the Mid-South Wednesday morning leaving one to three inches of snow on grassy areas and rooftops.  One Memphis rooftop is home to the world famous Peabody Ducks.  They braved the cold and waddled through the snow on top of the Peabody Hotel in downtown Memphis as they made their way to the warmer waters of Peabody fountain in the hotel lobby. 

Even though they are more at home treading water, the ducks took the snow in stride.
