The snowstorm has arrived in Wa
tervilie but 1t was a disappointment
to mans, for 1t was more rain and
sleet than snow. In fact, 1t was
one OF the nastiest days for a long
time. yesterday. A cold northeast
wind blowing the half frozen rain
drops into the faces of the pedestri-
ans was not a pleasant sensation.
The icy sidewalks were covered to
some extent but it was still slippery
ut night fall. Automobile drivers
had a new difficulty yesterday. The
rain stuck to the windshields, or
rather, 1t froze to the windshields,
frosting them UP so nicely that it
was almost impossible to see
through. Windshield wipers were
worthless and nothing short of warm
water had any effect at all.
