| Episode narrativeepisode_narrative | A winter storm hit the area just before the beginning of the Martin Luther King Jr. weekend. This meant that many schools and other businesses were closed for six days. Strong winds and sub-zero temperatures accompanied three to seven inches of snow with the storm of January 15 and 16. Schools were closed due to icy roads and snowfall on the 15th and due to considerable blowing and drifting on the 16th and 17th. Winds averaged 20 to 25 mph with gusts to 45 and temperatures were below zero through much of the weekend. This produced dangerous windchill temperatures. |
