MORE SNOW IS
PROBABLE, SAYS
WEATHER MAN
Present Storm TO Continue.
Trolley Lines Hannpered by
Frozen Rain.

The storm probably will continue
into tomorrow and maybe through
it. The weather man believes that it
will be a rain storm, but so close to
the freezing point is the temperature
that there may be sleet or even snow.
The forecaster does not want to
choose between them. although he
inclines to the belief that the rest Of
the storm will be rain.
The weather we are having is bue
one of three storms in progress III
the country, and its centre is passing
north from off the Virginia eapes
towards New England.
As result of the drop in tenn
perature several trolley lines were a
bit hampered last night and today.
The rain froze on the trolley wires
and caused both Inconvenience and
delay.
After a threatening day Saturday
the increasing winds grew higher
about nightfall and at O'Clock large
moist flakes of snow commenced to
fan in the downtown streets, and for
the first time this fall automobiles
were compelled to blanket the radia-
tors of their cars.
In a short time the snow became
sleet. and for two or three hours 1t
was question whether rain or snow
would be the hnal outcome. The tenn
perature remnined close to the freez-
ing point all evening, but after mid
night it dropped couple of degrees
and then came plenty of snow.
Conditions were more pronounced
in the suburbs than i'll the centre Of
the city where couple of inches
of snow was. on the ground. During
the day the wind increased IN .Neloc-
ity, and the temperature remained
near enough to the freezing point
near the ground to turn the ram INTO
ice as soon as 1t fell.
Dead limbs were blown off and
some damage was done to telegraph
and telephone wires nearby, while
the walking this morning in the sub
urbs was more of an athletic stunt
than usual.

started to rain, the city was covered
with an icy mantle that caused

but not serious for the victims.
