Ole Winter has finally made its way into Pocahontas this week. We have really had some cold frosty days. The last of the snow is still hanging on. The old saying I have heard all my life when snow stays around my ancestors always said “It’s waiting to be patched” Well we’ll see if they were right because we still have some hanging around.
