Saturdays storm was the worst o.
the winter. Snow began falling
early in the morning, and high
northwest wind ragged all day ano
far into the night. The mercury
Kent going lower and lower as the
storm ragged, the driving wind swirl
ing the snow about, and causing II
to drift in many places, roads in all
quarters being blocked, making
travel through the fields and lont
detours necessary.
The mercury touched the zero
mark by Sunday morning, when the
wind had spent its fury. Drivers o.
milk trucks and rural mail carriers
experienced great difficulty in serv
ing their routes on Monday wins
to the drifted roads.
Fortunately the snowfall not
very heavy. or the blockad voulo
have been complete.
