Snow started flying in a hurry everywhere Wednesday morning. After only an hour of snowfall, Jeff Pottle from Franklin Savings Bank began the shoveling ritual of clearing sidewalks in front of the bank in downtown Farmington. The storm started at around 8 a.m. in the Farmington area and produced 4.6 inches of snow by 1 p.m. and was up to 5.9 inches shortly after 4 p.m., according to Franklin County Sheriff, Dennis Pike. Temperatures hovered at just above 23 degrees by late afternoon rising from a start of about 14 degrees, he said. The storm sent a fine, granular frozen mist throughout the day causing many places to close and most evening meetings were cancelled, he said. Local police departments reported a quiet afternoon with no major accidents caused by the storm. Pike, who lives on a busy highway, said traffic was light on the road probably due to early closings of courts, town offices and some businesses.
