average citizen to be highly legendary,

= Metropolitan Journals Idea of What
Real Blizzard Is.

= metropolitan Journals Idea of What a
Real blizzard Is.
We observe a disposition on the part
OF some of our contemporaries to call
the recent cold weather a blizzard and
in the interest of accuracy and truth we
desire to inform them that the resemb-
lance of such weather as we have had
TO that which is called blizzard, is
about rs remote as any resemblance
can be.
We have simply had season of cold
weather, with the thermometer at zero.
A blizzard means greatly more than
that. 1t means sudden descent of the
cold of interplanetary space, or some
thing like that. 1t means 4 time when
the mercury freezes; when the very at
mOsphere sparkles with spiculp of ice;
when 4 blast blows at the rate of hun
dred miles an hour; when there is posi-
tive and immediate danger to life upon
the briefest exposure; when all going
about out of doors must be stopped.
whatever the occasion may be.
The cold of a blizzard is inconceivable
IN It's Intensity. He who passes into the
open air at such time is in danger of
death even at his own doorstep. for the
cold penetrateS to the very marrow.
producing stupor and utter bewildeT-
ment even in the strongest men. This
loss of faculty is so quick in its coming
that men who know what blizzard is
do not venture even to make hurried
journey from their dOorsteps to stables
fifty yards away without fastening orc
end of 4 rope to the door knob and car
rying the other with them a. means Of
retracing their steps when the bewildcr-
mcnt of the cold shall come over them.
Sometimes even this device fails. and
men have died with cold within a few
yards of their doors. while holding the
clew cord in their hands. Sometimes
the cold is too intense and the blast too
searching for any venture out Of doors
at all. and men who know what theY
arc about have permitted their cattle 10
starvc at distance of fiftv yards. be-
cause they knew that any attempt 10
feed them must be fatal to the person
making it. That is what blizzard is.
and our little season of zero weather is
a summer afternoon in comparison
