NEW YORK, Dee. 6.-The Allan
tic scaboard, from the Delaware
Capes to Maine, was blanketcd to-
day by the heaviest early December
snow in forty years.
Biting winds had driven the mer-
curry down to zero in the northern
half of the storm area. The tenn
peraturc in New York was 90 de-
grees above zero. The weather
bureau predicted it would remain at
this point throughout the day.
The snow was feathery and had
drifted into high piles before a
strong wind out of the northwest,
causing some surface traffic delays.
Railroads, however, reported their
schedule interruptions were only
slight.
