State road crews rolled into Tate County Saturday and Sunday to help the community dig out from the week-long winter storm that has battered the state.
Snow plows pushed ice and drifts to the right-of-way in Senatobia and Tate County Saturday. State Highways were the first priority in both the city and county.
Sunday was quiet in Tate County and Senatobia as the Sun came out and people were busy clearing walkways to their home and running to stores to pickup needed items after more than six inches of sleet and brutally cold weather stopped most activity.

A large power pole that toppled during Winter Storm Fern partially blocks the entrance to the Grenada School District’s elementary school campus. It remained down as well as power lines early Sunday morning.
Grenada School District officials announced at 2:30 p.m. Sunday that all District schools will remain closed Monday, Feb. 2, and Tuesday, Feb. 3, extending an already week-long shutdown after Winter Storm Fern coated Grenada County in ice and crippled much of its electrical infrastructure. The decision comes as crews continue working to repair extensive damage to power lines and poles at the District’s elementary school campus where service had not been restored by Sunday morning.

Adlakha is selling herself as the outsider fighting against “entrenched political interests.” On Thursday, Adlakha said if elected, she would not accept money “from Washington lobbyists.”
