5 Oct 09 – Bellevue, Idaho– “It's getting downright wintry. And
in some parts of our viewing area, snow is piling up.
“This may be one for the record books, not only how early this heavy
fall snowstorm is, but the fact that it appears to have created the
earliest snow day in the history of the Blaine County School
District.
“We got dumped on last night. We weren't quite ready for it," Lonnie
Barber, Blaine County Superintendent.
At least 3,500 Idaho Power customers in the Wood River Valley were
without electricity today. Utility officials blame heavy wet snow
for knocking out power in Bellevue and Hailey. Outages were also
reported in Fairfield and Carey.
