Some consolation was off red shivering
Washingtonans by the weather man last
night. He said that although this city
had caught a goodiy portion of the great
blizzard which is clogging the whee-s of
traffic in all parts OF the country. there
were other cities that experienced very
much colder weather.
According TO his assertion, the cold
north wind seemed 70. be shy of the Ma
TONS Capital and veering around, swoop-
ed down upon other cities not far distant.
New York, New Jersey and the New
England States caught the full force of
its energy and have many inches of snow

All trains from the North and the East
were one hour late last night and hotel
drivers and hackmen -shivered and NUT
tered because they-were compelled to wait
in the cold for the snow-ciad trains to pull
into the sheds. Railroad officials state
that the delay was caused by deep drifts

a continuation OF pleasant conditions. and

The storm center around which the
great blizzard is revolving is now located
off the New England coast. High g-,es
prevailed all along the coast yesterday
from the Delaware breekwateT to the
Maine rocks All of the tclesraphic
weather reports from the stations north

Saturday the city will experience more of
