  Winter Comes Early to the Mill
  FAYE McCARRON, staff writer
  
  WINTER MILL - Three inches of snow fell Saturday, as Winter Mill's record-breaking cold snap continued.
  Scientists at the National Weather Center in Maryland confirmed that this was Barnes County's earliest snowfall since records began, beating the previous mark set on October 3rd, 1953. "It's really remarkable," said meteorologist Rick Knowles. "We don't expect to see this in September."
  Knowles added that he expected the snow to continue falling for some time. "It's an odd weather system, very localized and very stable. We haven't seen any signs that it's going anywhere."
  The Winter Mill Police Department have advised caution on the roads and urged people to make sure they have several days' supply of food and fuel. "If this keeps up, we could be cut off at any time," said Sgt Mitchell Wilson. "Even once the plows are out, it can take days to clear all the rural routes, so stock up early."
  For the moment, though, conditions are perfect for winter sports, and residents have been taking to the slopes in and around town. Students at Winter Mill High attended a sled race Sunday at MacMillan Field - first prize went to brother and sister team Bradley and Ruth Farmer on their toboggan 'The Loose Goose'.
