WILD WINTER WEATHER

Sanders County saw it all last week as the many shades of winter moved through the county. A massive snowstorm made way for subzero temperatures and cloudless blue skies on Thursday (above left). As the temperatures warmed up, freezing rain hit the county and made for messy commutes. Highway 200 west of Thompson Falls near the Flat Iron boat launch (above right) was covered in a thick sheet of ice on Christmas morning.
