STORM COMING UP THE COAST.
Lusty Winter appeared In this city yesterday, two
days before his schedule time, and made things de-
cidedly uncomfortable for those who taken I'M
awares by the sudden change. Early In the morning
the thermometer registered % degrees above Zero and
the temperature gradually fell until it reached the
lowest point Of the day, 10 degrees, about p. m.
To add to the general discomfort strong northwest
wind swept down the avenues and across the open
squares and made the nequent pedestrians hurry for
shelter. The cold wave general across the entire
country east OF the Rocky Mountains except the ex-
IRENE end OF Florida the western Gulf coast and the
extreme Northwest. The temperature was below the
freezing point as far South Georgia, the fall In The
South Atlantic States during the day being about 80
degrees. The weather generally fair throughout
the country with the exception OF light SHOWS on the
lower lakes.
The coolest place In America yesterday was RocklHe
Canada where the thermometer registered degrees
below zero In the lake regions the temperature was
from ten TO twenty degrees. High winds prevailed
along the coast during the day. and telegram from
Washington received last night predicted that severe
cyconlc storm would probably move along the Gun
stream from the Carolina coast causing heavy gales
from Cape IIatteras to Boston. This storm, which
would probably reach the coast late at night, would
be dangerous to vessels.
The Weather Bureau predicts colder, fair weather
for this region to-day and tomorrow, and the temper-
ture will probably go down TO fifteen degrees this morn
