3:30 pm Saturday, April 2, in Ada saw sleet and snow, covering the ground and early-blooming flowers and trees.

Cold temperatures won't bother spring bulb flowers much, but magnolias tree blooms will turn black and other flowering trees may loose their spring finery due to current and anticipated freezes the next few days. (Monty Siekerman photo)
