just now enjoying an old-fashloneo~
blizzard, the most serious OF the win
ter New Years day was springlile
and mild, but Friday night the tenn
perature began to fall and the mercury
has continued its descent since. Last
evening a snow storm set in, which is 70
general throughout the state, and
which is still falling tonight High
winds are drifting the snow, and II they
continue through the night may make
the situation on the plains alarming.
At ten o'clock tonight the thermom---
eter at the local weather bureau reg
istered three degrees above zero, and
the chances are that the temperature
will fall several points below zero be-
fore tomorrow night Serious suffer
ing is sure to result in the central por-'.
tion of the state, where the wind has "a.
full sway.
From every section of the state
come reports of winds driving the
snow in binding clouds before it SO
that it is dangerous for anyone to ven- 80
ture out.
At Meadow Grove the storm began
about midnight Saturday night and a D.
blizzard has been raging ever since
with no signs of abatement. Drifts ).
are over ten feet high and traffic is -
becoming blocked.
Hardy reports Is hours of continu-
Gus snow and wind and serious drift
lug. From that place and Central
City come stories of like nature
with high drifts aud falling tempera--
ture, as the night approached the
storm seeming to increase in violence,
with every prospect of it's continuing
for many hours. There is much stock
being cared for on the ranges in Ne
bra ska and it will be several days be-
fore news is received as to how the -
herds and those in charge have been
affected.
Lincoln is almost snow-bound. Street
car traffic on suburban lines was
abandoned during the day and at g.
o'clock nearly every limo was blocked.
Trains on nearly every road entering
the city are delayed. Specials from
over the state indicate that the storm
is general and that cattle on the range
may suffer.
