Trains coming intes the city were. reported anywhere from one to two hours. late, and when they did come in they were forced to stop over get up steam. Trains coming from up north ran into drifts that brought them almost to 8 standstlii and runs as short as from Hartford to sWiil.mantic took about three hours to accomplish. Automo- piles standing at the street curbings were buried to the hubs, and more than one needed assistance to get it started.
