Winter storm dumps enough white stuff to result in 1st snow day

The first snow day for Wayland, Hopkins and Martin schools took place Tuesday, Jan. 12, after a winter storm dumped at least six inches of the white stuff on the area. Wayland High School got an unexpected extra day off Monday when a heating problem caused dismissal of students at 9:35 a.m. This photo was taken by the Allegan County Sheriff’s Department of some back roads Tuesday. There were reports more snow was on the way, but no reports on what effect that would have on travel and schools Wednesday. At last report, a blood drive at the United Church of Wayland was still planned for noon to 5:45 p.m. Wednesday.
