Barn snow hits Dutch Creek as residents dig out
Rural Dutch Creek residents battled a heavy barn snow that blanketed driveways and doors. Several homes were blocked. livestock losses included cows and calves, several calves saved by improvised warming, and school closures interrupted daily life. Community members tended cattle, children's activities shifted to indoor crafts, and a large family dinner reported nearby.
