Snow Stories and Photos

Snowed Under - The snow storm of February 6 resulted in the loss of electric service from 3 to 5 days for many Avalon residents. When the library was able to reopen almost a week later, we heard many stories of perserverance, courage, and ingenuity. Please consider stopping by the library so we can record your story in order to document this historic event.

We are also accepting and posting to our photostream on Flickr pictures relating to the storm.
