So, is it cold enough for you?
This week’s bone-chilling temperatures closed schools, government offices and business and even shut down mail delivery in some areas.
The dangerous weather and the steps area officials and residents took to cope with the cold is among the top stories in this week’s edition of the Burlington Standard Press.
The newspaper will be available at retail outlets in the area on Thursday. Subscribers may receive this week’s edition a day later than usual due to the aforementioned shutdown of mail delivery.
Here’s a look at some of the other stories in this week’s edition:
- CHARGES FILED: A six-time convicted drunken driver is again charged with operating while intoxicated as well as child neglect after he allegedly left his 2-year-old son at home while he went to buy tobacco. Nathan T. Hansen, of Kansasville, is also charged with child neglect.
