The heaviest snow appears to have fallen in the areas around Covington, Jefferson Davis, and western Jones Counties, where isolated amounts of 4 to 5 inches occurred. At the height of the snow, temperatures were able to fall to near freezing, and accumulations occurred on roadways resulting in a number of traffic accidents. Additionally, some power outages occurred in the heaviest snow band due to the weight of the wet snow on limbs and lines. However, most folks in the area enjoyed the rare snowfall and took full advantage of the opportunity to make snowmen and snow angels, or to go sledding on the nearest hill. |
