The first snowfall of the year covered Henryetta and Okmulgee County with over two inches of wet, white beauty Sunday. According to police motorists have been careful in town and only a couple of minor mishaps reported on the highways around the area. No injuries were reported in those accidents. Police are urging drivers to be extra cautious overnight and into Monday since much of the slush on the highways is expected to freeze. City crews were out early sanding down some intersections and closing off Fifth and Third Street hills. The snow didn't sotp some families from having fun sledding down the hills at Nichols or, in the case of Tabor and Greenlie Jones, from building snowmen, some about as tall as their parents.
