Residents enjoy 9 inch snowfall

This week, Franklin County residents have been able to enjoy the nine inches of snow that blanketed the county Sunday night.

For many residents, this is the most snowfall that has ever been seen in this area and the Franklin County Times readers were ready to take advantage of the rare event.

Some residents had fun taking part in the traditional snow activities like sledding and making snowmen. Others enjoyed activities that were a little different than the norm.

Whatever the activity was, these Franklin County residents won’t forget this “Alabama Blizzard.”

“On Monday, the Gordons, Wallaces, Bennetts and the Logans had so much fun riding four wheelers and pulling our sleds. The kids were super to make sure everyone got a turn, including the adults. I enjoyed seeing my kids have fun with each other along with other younger kids.”

– Ponda Gordon, Russellville

“We built snowmen, made snow angels, rode four wheelers, went sledding, made snow cream, drank lots of hot chocolate, and made lots of memories! Life is great!”

– Marci Batchelor, Phil Campbell

“We had a house full of RHS seniors watching the National Championship game at my house on Monday night.”

– Nancy Foster, Russellville

We had a wonderful day with our neighbors. We built a snowman, had an awesome snowball fight and made snow angles. Oh. I can’t forget the never ending bowl of snow cream! My sweet husband, Shane, got the four wheeler out and our friends had a kneeboard and ski rope so we hooked it up and he pulled everyone around all day. The kids and adults had a blast. We truly have some of the best neighbors in the world. We made memories to last a lifetime with our kids,

– Tonya Lawler, Russellville

“It’s always great sledding down the hill on Lauderdale Street downtown! Had loads of fun! Haven’t been able to do that in about 20 years!! FUN FUN!!”

– Nikki Tutich, Russellville

“We pulled an inner tube behind a four wheeler in the snow. Major fun!”

– Faith Hill, Phil Campbell

“Our family has enjoyed the snow by sledding in our neighborhood, playing cards, and watching Auburn win the national championship.”

– Channing Ward, Russellville
