Snow at Last.

Washington has enjoyed remark
ably mild winter and is in no position
to complain of the final coming of
snow Several times since the opening
of the season there have been indica-
tions tnat the ground would soon be
covered but save for one or two brief
manifestations. leaving no trace ther.
has been none until this morning. Now
il Is here. many weeks later than usual,
d fine lasting" snow, OF the kind to
delight the youngsters, to give work
for snovelers and perhaps to make busi-
ness for the doctors. For snow in
Washington is not generally speaking
to be welcomed. We here have little
experience with the snow that gives
actual enjoyment, that comes early
and stays late and inures people to It's
presence. The average local snowfall
quickly causes "slush." that causes i'll
ness and makes everything highly IN
pleasant
a season that progresses to February
13 before bringing snow is to be recorded
as most extraordinary Weather memo
ries may yield recollections of similar ex-
periences. but few of the younger gen.
Grafton will bring to mind another such
experience. Save for two or three cold
snaps. with only moderately low tempera-
lures. there has been practically no win
ter" at all. The season changes, accord
ing TO the calender. in five weeks, but
March q is extremely late for the actual
close of winter. 1t is scarcely TO be ex-
pected that there will be more than four
weeks Of severe weather. even if today's
snow should prove to be the opening gun
of an unremitting attack by Boreas. Con-
sidering the delightful weather that has
been enjoyed thus far. no one should be
disposed to complain If the real winter
Is compacted into the next month.
