Snow
This snowstorm has probably been the biggest snowstorm for Alton in a couple of years. Alton got about 7 1/2 inches, with some places having more and some places having less. While not the best for sledding, unless you go in the morning, it is great for building snowmen and forts. But due to it being wet snow, it weighed down the tree branches which than fell on the electric lines causing power outages.
The Howell-Oregon Electric Cooperative is doing their best to get their counties back with electricity.
