Telefree reported a midafternoon crash at Big G's in Lawrence that prevented Thursday opening due to snow blocking the entrance. A Gulf Oil porcelain sign valued at $10,000 remained intact, while overall damage was not yet known. The store, run by Gfeller for 56 years at the current site, had a prior burglary in October.
