Short-lived snows coat Bedford County

February 2, 2013

Two short-lived snowfalls left a white coating across Bedford County on the mornings of Friday, Feb. 1 and Saturday, Feb. 2, 2013. The relatively-rare Southern snows left snowy sights and brought out many fun-seekers.

Some parts of Bedford County received a measureable amount of snow Friday, but not enough to build this snowman. It still has a slight covering of the white stuff on a portion of its head and body. This large creature is made from hay and wood and can be seen on U.S. 41A North. (T-G Photo by Jim Davis)

If you know where you are going then this sign half covered with snow on U.S. 41A would not cause a problem. But if you're lost, then go right to Shebyville or left to Eagleville. (T-G Photo by Jim Davis)

The snow wasn't fun and games for Michael Dezotell of Shelbyville, who slid into and snapped a utility pole at the Madison Street-Deery Street intersection Saturday morning. Dezotell wasn't injured, police said. (T-G Photo by David Melson)
