Staff Reporter
The second major
snow of the season hit
Fauquier County on February
5, forcing Kettle Run to close
its doors for nearly three
weeks. Parts of Fauquier
County received up to three
feet of snow.
“I think we got 24
inches,” freshman Cameron
Rijke said.
Some students and
teachers were left without
power. “I lost power for 26
hours,” journalism teacher
Shelly Norden said. “My
house was frigid. We kept

wood on the fire and tried to
keep one room as warm as we
could. The power came back
on right before the Super
Bowl started.”
Sophomore Taylor
Campbell lost power for
three days. “The worst part
was I had to read a book in
two days since I didn’t have
T.V.,” Campbell said.
Others had power,
but were stuck inside their
homes for days waiting for
the plows to come and dig
them out. “My car was stuck
in the driveway for three
weeks,” junior Stephanie
Shipe said.
