The new year’s first winter storm delivered on forecasts, dropping five to eight inches of snow across Morgan County on Saturday, January 6. Snow began after daylight and fell steadily throughout the day, closing businesses early and presenting a challenge to the Division of Highways as they cleared primary and secondary roads. Warmer temperatures aided in clearing the snow overnight and residents woke to slushy, heavy piles on Sunday as the mercury rose to near 50 degrees.
Morgan County Schools operated on a two-hour delay on Monday morning, anticipating slick surfaces from a possible overnight freeze.
