Those of us around Springfield enjoyed dry roads and near snow-less yards Friday.
But northern Arkansas was dealing with another disaster.
Just one month ago tornadoes devastated the area.
Thursday night a different kind of storm did more damage.
You wouldn't expect a disaster area heading from Springfield because in Missouri the snow was patchy at best.
But once we hit Mountain View, Arkansas, we found the town of about 2,100 people digging their way out of the stuff.
8,000 of them lost power last night, but they were prepared.... sort of.

"We get pretty bad snowstorms in the spring that knock power out. Usually not snowstorms,” says Mountain View resident Eddie Eversmeyer with a laugh.
So the system that dropped a foot of flakes on Mountain View, Arkansa, came as a bit of a surprise.
“We hardly ever get snow like this.”
Jack Hinkle has been at the helm of Jack's Resort since 1961.
This vacation destination is just north of Mountain View.
It’s empty on a day like today, but it's not without power.
At first glimpse you may not think the snow had much of an impact on Stone County, but lights can be deceiving.
Eddie, a Hinkle family friend, is keeping this place alive on a diesel generator.
Houses around the community are staying warm and lit thanks to a smaller version of this same device.
They’re not in place thanks to great foresight, but rather hindsight.
“After the tornado everybody got them, because it was a week without power here. It was terrible, nobody had anything,” Hinkle says.
This time around they have everything- the electricity, the heat and the remnants of a fashionably late Mother Nature.
Eddie says school in Mountain View was cancelled Thursday and Friday and probably will be Monday and Tuesday as well.
A broken transmission line into the county is responsible for the widespread power outages.
