We know that school is out for Bullitt County Public Schools, Little Flock Christian and Micah Christian.... so kids enjoy this traditional day off...

The roads are clearing off thanks to the work of road crews and a break from Mother Nature. The wet snow is perfect to build those snowmen.

Send your favorite snow photos to [email protected] so we can run some in the paper next week.

Everyone stay safe as temperatures will drop this weekend. Santa will be visiting Zoneton Masonic Lodge early Saturday morning and then at the American Legion Post later in the morning (9-11 a.m.) and at the VFW Post. And we're sure he's making a lot of other stops in the community.
