23d, says:-"A heavy storm of snow
and rain broke over Athlone and
district this morning, stopping all out.
door work, and making things un-
pleasant. Yesterday was balmy
Spring day, with no indication that
we were to be into the rigors Of
Winter again, and everyone was sur
prised to see the ground covered with
snow this morning. The storm seems
to have been localised, for reports
show that in Galway the morning was
fine and dry, and in Castlebar, while
| there was a heavy fall of rain, there
was no snow. AS a result of the per-
| sistent lands all the low-lying land in
this part of the country is under water,
and Spring farm operations are at a
