Hard Going
The heaviest snow storm of the
winter, which was general through
out the East, swept down on us from
the northeast Saturday night and
Sunday. Driven by high wind the
storm assumed blizzard proportions,
but the fact that rain and hail fell
also, making the snow heavy, pre-
vented it drifting as badly as it
otherwise would have. AS 1t was,
however, travel conditions were
made bad, as roads were blocked Dy
drifts in number of places and the
depth of the snow; between five and
six inches, made it hard to plow
through. The mercury on Monday
morning registered 16 degrees.
Monday night there was an addi-
tional snow fall--of an inch and half
or two inches, but on Tuesday the
weather was mild, and by Wednes.
day Old Sol had begun to make his
power felt and the snow was rapidly
converted into slush.
