downpour of rain in the afternoon. Saturday
again showed ground covered with snow il
the morning, but it soon disappeared, and ar
overcast sky held through the day. Sunday

brighter toward night. Monday was Lowell,

would-be optimists," in the Boston Journal
poem regarding this cold snap:
"Pd rather have it now
Than long in May or June"
