Snow May Remain With Us for
Several Days.
STORM PASSES OUT TO SEA
Weather Bureau Estimates That
Four and q Quarter Inches Of
Snow Fell Here Yesterday.

Clear and colder weather. so the ofiicial
forecaster said. will obtain today. and as
a result Washington may expect to retain
its first mantle of snow of the winter OF
19O9-1O for more than the usual day or
two. Greatest boon Of all. the dispenser
of warmth and cold has promised that
the snow will not be followed Immediate
ly by rain. so that the Acknowledgment
aftermath of snow-slush-may not fail
to the lot of Washingtonians imme-
diately.
Up to 10 o'clock last night it was esti
mated that about four and one-ha
inches of snow had descended upon the
National Capital, and this was expected
to be the limit reached by the storm.
This particular disturbance which brought
christmas weather. to Washington
started In Arizona two or three days ago
and swept across the country, gathering
force as it travelled. 1t was thought to
be safely started on a little trip out into
the Atlantic ocean last night.
Ice on River Troublesome.
The greater part Of the snow that fell
yesterday and last night in the Potomac
river is lying in an unmelted state on
the surface of the water and only freez-
ing temperature is required to convert 1t
into Ice that would give the steamboats,
some trouble in getting through it. Re-
ports coming from down the river state
that the drift ice extends as far down as
Indian Head. OF Fort Washington 1t is
particularly heavy. Steam vessels have
no trouble in going through it. and sew
eral sailing craft Friday evening left here
to make an attempt to sail 20 their home
points down the river No reports have
been had from them since they left, and
the river men, working on the theory
that no news is good news, take it for
granted that they got through the ice in
safety.
AS result of the ice on the river
within the past few days 1t Is said that
the steamer which formerly operated be-
tweenA lexandria and the steel o ant and
the Washington navy yard has Ell
compelled to suspend operate MS EN-
porarity. The Alexandrians employed at
these places have, it is said, been using
the cars as a means of transpo ia it n
1t is expected. however, that within a
short time the steamer will resume
operations.
Snow Covers Virginia.
A heavy snow storm prevails in Vir-
ginia Reports received from there show
that the fall of snow is general rom tie
