Freak Snowstorm Fools Town
A freak snowstorm blanketed Franklin county Tuesday Morning, 3 inches falling in the first hour. It seemed to slow as the morning progressed, but that didn't stop schools from closing and classes from being cancelled that the local university.
Residents made jokes of how the sudden, out of place storm was merely an elaborate April Fools joke. As the day wore on however, the jokes seemed to fade and even one resident was quoted as saying "It's a joke on humanity from the gods!"
Despite the fact that a Georgia county has been brought to its knees, some businesses have made the best of the situation. The Dragonfly Inn for example is providing horse drawn carriage rides through town for anyone who wishes to take part, as well as offering other snow-centric events for adults and children alike to enjoy.
County officials do wish to warn residents that though the snow is pretty to look at it does have its own dangers, and they urge residents to be careful if they feel they must go out for any reason.
