Last week a predicted snow storm of some duration was expected overnight, with the forecast potential of blanketing Dayton and environs so as to make treacherous walking and accessing various public buildings. While the snowfall wasn't record setting, there was enough that the mobilized efforts of the Dayton Lions Club and Dayton Kiwanis Club pitched in last Thursday morning to help clear the sidewalks, stairs and wheelchair ramps at a couple locations around town, such as the Dayton Memorial Library, shown here, the Dayton Post Office and a private residence which is home to a wheelchair-bound resident. As this week's paper is put to bed, much of the white stuff has melted and the temperature is hovering around 50° F.
