New Weather Station in Hardy
February 7th, 2010
Hardy finally receives a long talked about weather station and camera for our area.
In the past the closest weather observations were from Mountain Home. This new weather station will provide the residents in hardy with current temperature, wind speed and direction, how much rain has fallen. A&P is the first organization to sponsor a SkyCAM and are very proud of their new camera; it joins Arkansas Methodist Center in Paragould and ASU’s stadium cam.
Mayor Nina Thornton hopes that this new weather station will bring more people to their town. “It has so many great benefits for the community,” Thornton said.
Thornton said, “I think that this will bring tourism, more tourists people to come to our city. I think that people don’t really know exactly what we have to offer and they’re going to be able to see it live 24/7 now.
The weather station is sponsored by the Advertising and Promotions Committee of Hardy which sponsrs many exciting events and promotions for our area. The new weather station will allow the Region 8 StormTEAM to see what’s happening across the area and keep the area residents better informed.

First Snow Fall 2010
January 3rd, 2010
It was such a nice surpirse to awake on such a lovely Sunday morning to the sight of our first snow fall of the New Year ! 
For once it wasn’t ice mixed or to much at one time, but just the right amount to make you stop and look at the beauty that Mother Nature offers to us from time to time.
Here is a poem by Annette Bromley
(WALKING ON A WINTER MORN)
I love walking on a snowy winter morning, early, as the dawn breaks forth its light, dazzling the earth with all its splendor as it glows above the earth all snowy white, shimmering and sparkling around me as I walk, awed by the beauty of a world that’s crystal bright. There’s a fresh crispness in the air, a peaceful silence all around in the early hours of morning with soft snowflakes drifting down as I leave the first footprints on the snowy path I trod and enjoy the awesome wonder in my morning walk with God, spellbound by His creation and the winter season’s splendor etching my mind with images I always will remember. I love walking in the winter where on the boughs of trees frozen raindrops tinkle like bells on the morning breeze, where it seems ten trillion diamonds have replaced the autumn leaves, the carnelian, ruby and the gold that in autumn crowned the trees. Walking on a winter morn as dawn breaks forth its light fills the soul with wonder and the heart with delight. Oh how I love a winter walk when there’s only whispered sound, where the earth seems pure and fresh and clean with snowflakes dancing down. I love walking on a winter morn, early, as the dawn breaks forth its light, shimmering and sparkling on a world all crystal bright. It fills my soul with wonder and my heart with delight.

The Spring River at Hardy was at 16.51 feet at 6:00am on Friday, about six feet lower than when it crested in 2008’s flood. At 14 feet, homes on piling along the riverbank have water under them and the River Bend Campground and other low lying areas are flooded. Downstream, the river will crest at 22.5 feet late Friday at Imboden.
