First snow cancels school for Monday

The area's first measurable snowfall of the year has prompted Crittenden County School District to cancel classes on Monday.

Snowfall totals ranged from one to two inches in the community late Saturday night and into Sunday morning. A number of churches canceled services on Sunday.

The school district issued an announcement about 5:30pm Sunday saying that due to icy side roads and continued freezing temperatures, classes are off to start the week. 

"This will be a true snow day, so stay safe, have fun, and we hope to see our in person learners back in our buildings, and our virtual learners back online, on Tuesday," the school announcement said.
