COLERIDGE—The residents of the Coleridge community looked out the window Tuesday morning with somewhat mixed emotions as Old Man Winter continued to serve up another fresh snowstorm.
The snow, which began early Tuesday morning, continued most of the day with a slackening toward evening after dumping another three to four inches on the area.
Many country roads around Coleridge were blocked again as the drifting snow pushed into the already clogged cuts. Occasional light snow over the weekend had added another two inches to the mounting drifts.
High temperatures the early part of the week of around 15-25 degrees felt almost balmy after the 20-degree-below-zero readings which prevailed for several days last week.
The thermometer didn’t get much over the zero mark before taking the plunge again. Highways in the area are not good due to the packed snow and ice.
