BIG SNOW AT LAST.
HIGH WINDS PILE UP DRIFTS ON The
COUNTY ROADS.
Traffic Considerably Interrupted-Weathe
Moderates ON Wednesday.

This has been great week for the
boy with the sled and the man with
the sleigh, for last Friday after noon
the first real snowstorm in the last
two years, made its appearance, and
the flakes continued to fall all night.
The ground, which was already frozen
solid by the extreme cold weather,
was m excellent condition to receive
the snow, and during Friday night
and Saturday the wind blew at ter
rife rate, thus causing drifts of con-
siderable size which interrupted traf-
fic. An additional snowfall OF about
two inches early Monday MOI ming,
accompanied by high wind made mat
ters still worse.
Farmers throughout the county
have been greatly inconvenienced by
the blocking of the roads, and the
conditions which prevailed during the
severe blizzard of years past are re-
called Drifts have piled four and
five feet high along the roads. When
packed, the snow becomes tight and
makes the road practically impass-
able. In many cases users Oh the
roads have taken down fences and
travelled through fields to get to their
destinations. Some roads were open
ed Sunday, farmers in some cases and
workmen in others shoveling the way
through.
All roads were badly drifted. Where
vehicles were able to get through, it
was only with great e4ertion on the
part OF the horses. There were nu-
merous breakdowns of teams along
different roads. The road between
Mount Airy and Damascus was i'm
passable. The State roads in the
vicinity Of Mount Airy were also
blocked. In many places drifts were
six and eight feet deep.
i One of the undertakers, called 70 a
funeral several miles out Of West
minister was compelled to shovel a
road through the drifts for his hearse,
and finally had To abandon the hearse
for a sled. Some of the rural mail
carriers were unable to make their
rounds.
! Except for snowfalls Of but few
minutes at midnight twice last week
precipitatiOns of the same nature In
the last six or seven weeks this win
ter have been rare. Last winter saw
but few, and it might be said thai the
young hopefuls OF three years old
what a sleigh ride il but sleigh bells
have been jingling on the streets and
county roads all this week. The sever
ity Of the cold weather moderated on
Wednesday morning.
An electric car on the Thurmont
division Of the Hagerstown and Fred
erick road struck a snow drift near
Lewistown Monday afternoon and was
marooned until Tuesday. Among the
passengers we're a dozen girls from
Hood College and County Commis-
sioner Frank NJ. Stevens. The men
shoveled for three hours, but the snow
blew back faster than they could re-
move it. A telephone was fitted upon
the car and word sent to Thurmont
for help. Supplies were taken tv the
girls from neighboring houses and
the night was spent on the car.
