Wednesday was undoubtedly the
worst day of the winter so far. There
was considerable loose snow on the
ground and strong northwest wind
which started up Tuesday night whip
ped and churned this snow until one
had vision of miniature blizzard
However it was nothing as compared
with the weather in other parts Of the
country this winter.
A few months ago it was pretty
generally thought that this would be
a long and quiet winter. However,
the fine weather we have enjoyed has
shortened it apperciablly and its seem
that the people in the community have
been able to find something to in
terest and amuse them at all times.
Most people will agree that every
thing considered it has been one Of
the most enpoyable winters we have
had in many years.
