From Byron Ophnus Saturday morning, a few scattered flakes of snow fell in Havre. They ceased just as abruptly as they had begun.

Snow was falling and continued through early afternoon enhancing conditions that were excellent to begin with. Later in the afternoon the sun shone, ushering an end to...
