Vinita and vicinity is in the grasp
of by far the most severe cold wave of
the winter, and many say for several
winters.
Sunday morning-New Years came
with almost balmy climatic conditions
prevailing. About one o'clock yester-
day afternoon the wind changed to the
north and in the next four hours Vinita
experienced severe drop of about
forty degrees in temperature. The
cold wind became a gale from the
snowfields of the north and before this
morning dawned the mercury dropped
to few degree-some observers say
four and others ten-below zero. The
thermometer at the government obser
vatory has been stolen, and no official
record of the temperature could be
had. A comparison of the thermome
ters caused a pretty general agree
ment that the record should be foul
below. Taking this as a basis there
was fall of fifty-eight degrees il
about thirty hours.
The experience that comes every
winter with sudden changes in weather
was again felt in Vinita last night
when several hundred water pipes
froze and had to have the services Of
a plumber today.
At o'clock this afternoon the
weather had somewhat moderated, bu
the indications are the, tonight wil
be even colder than lastShight.
