Mills County Hit By Worst Blizzard In Years
Mills County endures one of the worst snow storms in over a dozen years with estimates around 16 to 18 inches, heavy drifts, and widespread travel disruption. Rural routes halted, trains delayed, and many schools dismissed as crews battle through drifts from Mineola to Glenwood and beyond.
