Burning leaves.  Some folks hate it;  many folks do it.

This photo shows one of the larger “leaf piles” that we’ve seen in a while, on Oakland St.

If you burn leaves, please monitor the fire, and keep a water hose close at hand.

Lacey – Ladelle Fire Dept. put out a fire at a work shed behind a HWY 425 home, Christmas Day.

MPD dispatched a Drew County Sheriff’s Deputy to a truck accident, Christmas Day. No one was reportedly injured.

C&L Electric crews worked to restore power on Valley Junction Road, after a tree fell, bringing down a power line.


Winter Weather – 9 am Notes

December 26th, 2012 by

Sydney and Mallory Fallon found enough snow to make a snowman!

At 10 pm, multiple weather sources forecast 1-3 inches of snow for Drew County, overnight.

However, even though snow was reported from all around the county, it seems only  a “dusting” took place; mostly between 8:30 and 10:00 o’clock.

Drew County Department of Human Services will be under the inclement weather policy, Wednesday.
