The country fell into the grip of one
of the worst bizzards Sunday night that
has prevailed hereabout for years past,
and all day Monday terrific gale filled
the air with clouds of light snow that had
fallen during the night and continued
throughout the greater portion of the day.
All sorts of travel In the country districts
was interfered with, and all rural mail
routes we're "snowed under" so to speak.
Monday night the high wind subsided to
an extent, and yesterday conveyances
we're digging themselves out of the drifts
and showing signs of life again. The
railroads in this section were not as
greatly hampered as would be supposed,
because the snow was light and there was
not great lot of it, but the country roads
as rule we're packed solid filing the
beaten paths so as to make the going well
nigh out of the question. People who
could sit indoors by cheerful fires and
use the telephones for communication
and gossip we're the only happy ones.
