New Year's Day Snow Hits Four Inches After Ice Storm
Snow reached four inches on New Year’s Day following ice and rain that created hazardous driving, power outages, and widespread travel delays in Athens and surrounding areas. Utilities, highway crews, and city crews worked to restore service and clear roads, with normal conditions expected later in the day. Ohio University Elementary School reopened on schedule while county schools delayed post holiday classes.
