gales that attended the center of the
storm area. Shipping along the coast
was forced to seek shelter. and from
every port city came reports of vessels
in distress. The downtown business sec
ton of Norfolk was flooded by high
tides that swept In accompanied by the
gale, and traffic police were compelled
to work In hip boots.
Three large tobacco warehouses at
Danville, Va, collapsed under the
weight of snow, and all other ware
as a measure OF precaution. Reports
from Richmond were that the snowfall
there of approximately two feet was the
heaviest in twenty-three years, and had
completely tied up street traffic.
The area OF snowfall was creeping
slowly northward and tonight was
reaching into New England. Reports
to the Weather Bureau from Philadel-
phia late in the day said the fall there
had a depth of four to six inches.
while snow began falling in New York
about noon.
Weather Bureau officials said 1t was
extremely unlikely. however. that In
any section in the path OF the storm
|. would the snowfall be nearly as heavy
as in the Middle Atlantic States.
Indications late in the day were that
the snow would cease In Washington
and vicinity during the night, Weather
Bureau officials said. and be succeeded
tomorrow by partly cloudy weather
with temperatures below freezing.
The remarkable phase Of the storm
through the Middle Atlantic area was
that it interfered but little with teie-
phone and telegraph communication
The lightness of the snow and absence
of moisture operated to prevent 1t STICK
ing to wires and thereby disrupting
service.
Many passenger trains of Southern
lines operating out OF Washington were
stalled tonight between here and Alex
