Snow, Rain and Hail-Winter's
Worst Storm.

About the worst storm Of the win
ter swept in on us from the north
east on Wednesday Of this week,
with snow, hail, rain and sleet, con-
tinuing all day and all night. The
high wind drove the flying snow and
sleet with great force.
Fortunately the temperature was
not very low and the rain packed the
snow enough to keep it from drifting
much, or we would be entirely snow
bound at this time.
The fall Of snow was heavy one
and travel conditions have been
rendered bad, but nothing like what
might have been. With a lower
temperature the storm would have
been one of our worst billiards.
