Farmersville fell victim to Mother Nature’s wrath this past week as winter cold, ice, snow and sleet played havoc with the city’s electrical system, officials reported.

The city suffered what Public Works Director Jeramy Young called a “systemwide power failure,” affecting approximately 1,700 utility customers.
