One of the biggest winter storms to hit the U.S. in years didn’t spare Sulphur, slamming into this area over the weekend with brutally cold wind chills and four to six inches of ice, sleet and snow.
Winter storm Fern began impacting the Sulphur area last Friday evening with plunging temperatures and a light precipitation mix. By early Saturday, the storm impacts were in full force as streets became snow and ice-packed and mostly impassable without four-wheel drive or frontwheel drive vehicles.
