Snowbound Pomeroy Works To Reach Medical Needs
Snow continued to fall as Pomeroy and Meigs County crews with help from the state fought to clear routes for doctors to reach ill residents. A baby was born at home after plows couldn't reach, and medical staff and volunteers used horses to relay care. Roofs were damaged, and officials urged cautious travel while schools and services faced closures.
