Zero Weather
10 Follo,U Thar

Zero weather is coming in the
wake of as mean a thaw as New
York has had in several years.
According to the Weather Bu-
reau, the mixture Of sleet, hail
and rain will turn to snow this
morning and the day will be much
colder. The forecaster expects to
see the mercury down to ~ or Is
degrees by church time. Zero to-
morrow is his prediction.
Rain, which failed to diminish
the snowbanks to any extent, but
coated everything with ice, kept
up throughout yesterday. Side
walks were glare of ice, the
oavements, which most pedes.
irlans sought, were ankle-deep in
slush; slipping horses and skid
dlng automobiles held up surface
cars and 81 trains ran slowly
because of icy rails.
