Baker County hit hard with snowfall this winter
Submitted Photos.

in Halfway. Heavy snow took it down this week, along with the roofs from
at least 16 other structures in the Pine Valley at the time Brown counted on
Wednesday afternoon.
Top right: Joelle Crowther submitted this photo in front of their house in Baker
City. Pictured back to front counterclockwise are Kayson, Mayci, and Belle
working in the tunnels.

during feeding. Jones has run the cat fi ve times this past week, clearing off two
and a half feet of snow.
Temperatures dropping
to -28F in the Bridgeport
area weren’t easy on
cattle.

and Betty Huntsman’s
deathcicles a few miles
outside Baker City took
some creative knocking
down this week.

County Emergency
Services took this photo
on Tuesday outside
Elgin, showing that the
