Pre-Christmas snow


Snow that lightly blanketed downtown Sylva early Dec. 19 was enough to cancel school in Jackson County, allowing local students to start their Christmas vacation a day early. The missed day caused Smoky Mountain High School's second exam day to be rescheduled to Tuesday, Jan. 6, when SMHS students will take their second- and fourth-period exams. The delay also means that textbooks will not be distributed at SMHS Friday, Jan. 2, and Monday, Jan 5, as previously announced. While snow was light in Sylva, residents in Balsam reported up to 8 inches Friday, with another 2 inches falling that evening. Some 6 inches fell in the Norton area and Canada community accumulations were from 4 to 6 inches. - Herald photo by Rose Hooper
