I have to admit that while Director at Middleton, the thought of something like this happening crossed my mind more than once. As it turned out, it was snow swirling its way into rooftop vents that proved to be the problem.

Excerpt:   It’s likely the cold weather caused one sprinkler head to malfunction in the entry atrium of the T.B. Scott Free Library at about 2:45 p.m., said Stacy Stevens, director. That meant that the entryway’s ceiling tiles, carpeting and some furniture made of wood and metal were doused. All told, the entry was flooded with an inch to two inches of water, Stevens said.
