    The year 2010 may go down as the winter of stormy weather for the Dallam and Hartley Counties area.  The first snowfall of the winter season came just after Christmas and was light enough to be called pleasant. It added that special something for the Holiday Season.  The second major system hit the area in late January and caused many closures for area businesses and schools, but everyone remained a bit light-hearted and enjoyed a couple of days away from regular routines.  The third bout with snow knocked branches off of nearly every tree in town, and by then any desire for snowfall was gone.

    Many residents of the Dalhart area are currently deployed to Afghanistan and Iraq.  The brave young men and women who are halfway around the world are in large part why Americans experience great freedom.  Several United States military members have found themselves deployed overseas more than once.  An effort to show them the support of their hometown continues, and a request for assistance goes out to everyone who has the benefit of staying here at home.

    The City of Dalhart will allow residents to dispose of tree limbs at 200 Olive Street, outside the fenced area by the municipal garage, rather than going out to the landfill.  The opportunity is open from now through March 6th.  The recent weather storms have led to many downed tree limbs and branches causing the need for a place to put all of them.   City employees will continue to pick up limbs from curbs and in the alleys, but due to the massive amount, the process may take quite awhile.
