ALMOST A BLIZZARD.

Connecticut Received Only the Tag End
 of Last Nights Storm.
 Waterbury experienced only the flag end of the big storm that swept over the country yesterday. The fall of snow was not more than an inch, but the velocity of the wind, which at mid night veered around to the north was terrific, and the thermometer took a sudden drop almost to zero. It was a blizzard whose fury was almost spent before reaching Connecticut. Reports from the lake regions say that snow fell to a depth of more than three feet. At 1920 this morning a storm of great severity passed over New Haven which, according to Observer Cox of the weather bureau, was the most peculiar in several years. The wind blew with terrific force and snow fell in great volumes. During the storm there was vivid flash of lightning and clap of thunder. The storm did not last over half an hour, but while it was in progress the temperature dropped to six degrees above zero and the barometer also took sudden drop.
