Mt. Herman Area news
We got about three inches of snow early Friday morning. The ground was still pretty warm so most of it melted as the temperature warmed slightly above freezing. When we left Thursday evening to go play cards at Jerry and Jim Phillips’ home, the cattle across the road were all huddled together and were gathered under cedar trees. Larry and I talked about that, we bet we were in for a good weather event and sure enough about 5 a.m. Friday morning it started to snow. It snowed on and off pretty much all day Friday and flurries on Saturday and even a few snow flurries on Sunday morning as we were going to church. It’s supposed to be rain sometime this week.
