HARTINGTON— Winter continued its icy grip on this area the past week and new snow Tuesday and Wednesday made road conditions slippery. The light texture of the snow made it susceptible to drifting. Temperatures dropped to five and six degrees below zero the past five days and the highest reading recorded was 21 degrees above Monday.
The Hartington area has had approximately 15 inches of snow since the first of the year and this piled on top of the late December snowfall has left the countryside covered with a blanket of snow measuring more than a foot in most areas.
Drifts are several feet deep in many places. Seventeen below-zero days have been recorded at the Hartington weather station since Jan. 1. The coldest was 21 below zero Jan. 5.
Measurable precipitation has been recorded on nine days and traces reported on many other days.
