On average, the county received 7-8 inches of snow, according to Sheriff Vernon Stanforth. However, different areas will have received different amounts of snow. One household reported to Stanforth it had 13 inches in the front yard Tuesday morning. “Interestingly enough, we had no wind last night with the snow. So that means the snowfall, the measurement of the snow where ever it’s at, is probably fairly accurate. There was very little drifting,” said Stanforth. “We were fortunate in the weather pattern even though we got a lot of snow yesterday.”
