Dismal indeed was the dawn Of the
new year, by reason of rain which be-
gan falling during the night and con-
tinued thru the early morning hours.
The weather prediction was for the
warmest New Years in Iowa's history,
and the forenoon was much like Indian
summer excepting for the rain. A
change took place, however. a damp
snow began falling, became heavier as
the day progressed, and before even
ing almost reached the proportions Of
blizzard, due to the strong north
wind. The snow drifted badly, and by
l o'clock street cars were compelled to
stop running. Trains from the south
on the Iowa Central were snow bound
and several hours late into town, and
telegraph and telephone wires suf-
fered from the sleet and snow.
