WILLIAMS — Although the rain and snow of the weekend is welcome to a parched land, it cancelled the spring festival at Cureton Park and caused the carnival to remove quickly. Overnight Williams received a dusting of snow covering the hills.
Small amounts of snow was falling Sunday, but mostly thundershowers and rain are expected the rest of today through tonight.
The only remainder of the carnival is the portable toilets.
