Snow, ice could make Monday commute difficult 
A little extra caution might be warranted on the Monday morning commute.
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration has issued a wintry weather advisory for Sunday night and Monday because of a combination of freezing rain and snow.

Warm winter weather keeps outdoor rinks closed
Warm temperatures have made it impossible for the city of Farmington to successfully flood its outdoor ice rinks, but parks and recreation director Randy Distad is hopeful the rinks will be ready before students' winter break is over.

Column: Preparing for the snowy season
By the time most of you read this we’ll know whether there was any truth in suggestions we might get the season’s first significant snowfall this week.
Depending on when you listened to the weather, you might have expected either a gentle dusting – just enough to turn the world outside into a beautiful crystalline fairyland – a few quick-melting inches or the kind of winter storm that leaves small mammals buried alive and causes weaker men to question the very nature of their existence.

Flooding closes Highway 50 in Farmington
Flooding caused by heavy rains shut down about a mile of Highway 50 west of downtown Farmington and left some motorists stranded for more than an hour Friday afternoon.
The rains caused backups in some of the city’s storm sewers around 2 p.m. Friday. The water ran over the highway and blocked roads in part of the city’s industrial park.

In spring, rising waters are inevitable along the Vermillion
Water spilling over the edges of Vermillion River, particularly around Rambling River Park, is just a fact of life in this spring in Farmington. It’s certainly nothing that city engineer Kevin Schorzman gets too worked up over.

A sign of spring
Warmer weather and melting snow have pushed the Vermillion River over its banks in recent days, leaving some residents along the river with flooded yards and making the playground equipment at Rambling River Park unavailable to kids. The flooding, a perennial problem in the park, makes the playground equipment’s boat theme seem particularly appropriate.

Snowfall puts a strain on city staff
Any hopes that last week’s warm temperatures might bring an early thaw were more or less crushed by Mother Nature when she dumped somewhere around 15 inches of snow to Farmington Sunday and Monday.
Even early into Tuesday afternoon, piles of snow lined the downtown streets while city plow crews worked their third day in a row, trying to get rid of all of the extra snow.

This again
Several days of springlike temperatures earlier this month might have had Farmington residents ready to say goodbye to snow, but it wasn't to be. A storm dumped more than 10 inches of snow on Farmington Sunday and Monday, making travel treacherous and spending any time outside unpleasant.

Bountiful blizzards have meant big business
Sales of snowblowers, shovels, sidewalk salt and all the other snow-removal items are way up so far this year at Pellicci Ace Hardware. But when manager Stuart Emich had to place the orders for this winter during last summer’s trade show, he had no idea how many more he would have to order this year compared to last.

A great day to hit the hill
With warm — for December — temperatures, no school and threats of freezing rain in the forecast, Wednesday was a picture-perfect day for kids in Farmington to get in a little outdoor recreation. And on a winter day there's not much better for outdoor recreation in Farmington than sledding at Daisy Knoll Park.

Snow forces cancelations
Winter doesn’t technically begin until tomorrow, but that doesn’t seem to matter today.
Due to the amount of snow that has fallen since this morning — and will likely continue into the evening — cancellation notices are starting to come in to our office.

Q and A: Blizzard made for a busy weekend
I don’t know about where you live, but over in my neighborhood, I rarely have to lift a shovel full of snow. My home is part of an association, and as such, our association pays a local company to plow our roads and driveways when we have heavy snowfalls.

Blizzard leaves a mess
Even though the city of Farmington was still clearing streets on Monday, the 17 to 18 inches of snow that fell over the weekend was more of an inconvenience than anything.
City crews spent a good part of the day clearing the rest of the streets downtown, after putting in many hours trying to clear snow on both Saturday and Sunday.
