The winter weather has affected operations at Sparta Community Hospital.

On a lighter note, there is information on how to build a snowman. According to Smithsonian Magazine.com, the best snow for building a snowman is moist or wet snow because it sticks well. Ideal conditions occur when temperatures are around 32°F. It’s suggested to find a flat spot in the shade and roll three snowballs of varying sizes before stacking them largest to smallest.
