WEATHER FOR THE WEEK Even Prof
Ground Hog has failed to produce a week
or even few days of continuously good
weather. While the three-days' blizzard
was the worst experienced here for many
years, it failed to reach the height and
destructive features reported west of
Maine. Its worst feature was the large
amount of snow that fell, about 80 inches
on a level, and badly drifted by strong
northeast wind. Snow began to fall
about 2 p. m, Thursday and continued
prac tically all the time until about p. m.
Saturday. Friday night for short time I
the snow turned to sleet and formed
solid crust In the early stages of the
storm the snow resembled Brazilian sugar
and formed most uncertain footing even
on the shoveled walks. Friday morning
the ''no school" signals were sounded. |
Many of the pupils and older people, in
GLIDING clerks, used snowshoes to a very
good advantage. Attempts were made to
break out the streets and clear the side
walks, but were for the most part futile.
