Considerable snow fell the past week, bringing good sledding conditions for the kids. The Sixth Street hill was roped off by the city marshal and many sleds were present every day until Monday when the snow started to melt. By Tuesday night, most of it was gone. Streets were slick and dangerous. Total snow during the week was 2.3 inches.
