Mother Nature provided a delayed April
Fool's joke on Lewis County Friday, April
6. A weather forecast calling for scattered
flurries ended up with steady snowfall
throughout the day and evening. Along
with gusty winds, the snowfall
occasionally reduced visibility
significantly. By the time the snowfall
stopped, some areas (particularly just
south of the Ohio River) saw
accumulations of two to three inches or
more.
