Slippery slope
//
Jamon Lewis, 11, makes the snow fly as he slides down a steep slope at Forest Hill Park in South Side last Friday. The snow created fun, but also icy conditions that led school systems in the Richmond area to close through Tuesday. Classes resumed Wednesday. The cold and ice also caused power outages and froze water pipes in untold numbers of homes and businesses. Underground water infrastructure also cracked, shutting off the water supply in Church Hill, parts of Downtown and in nearby suburbs. On Monday and Tuesday, cracked water mains twice caused partial closure of Interstate 95 in Richmond as water flooded the highway.
