A large drift near Harold Prather's and another at Mrs J A Spies corner loom up to nearly fifteen feet high. In 1986 local youngsters photographed shaking hands over telephone wires. Volunteers from Grunt finger business street and rural areas cleared crusted snow and opened miles of road. The high drift and packed snow hinder plows and current gear proves too light for this winter's conditions.
