Easter Weather Brings Light Snow Across Mountains
A light snow cover up to about half an inch touched higher elevations on the eve of Easter, briefly easing fire danger. Forester Herman Toms noted snow and rain would not bring lasting relief and planned forest reopening by afternoon as conditions dried. Snow ranged around Wolfsville and Foxville, with Gambrill Park lightly covered, and totals varied across the district. The forecast calls for sun on Sunday then warmer low twenties to mid thirties by Monday, with Easter crowds expected at area churches and the Kiwanis Easter Egg Hunt in Baker Park at 1 15 PM. Banks and stores adjust for the Good Friday holiday and Easter Monday.
