WARMER WEATHER
TO FOLLOW SNOW
Temperatures Rise, Presag-
ing Another Period of Rain
in Capital.

Snow and rain which fell in the Cap
ital late last night will be followed by
another spell of warmer weather, ac-
cording to Weather Bureau forecasters.
From a minimum Of 28 degrees last
night, the thermometer at the bureau
rose some this morning, reaching 80
at 8 o'clock and IS at noon.
About an inch of snow fell last
night, the bureau estimated, while the
total melted precipitation was said to
have been 11-1oo inches. Rain will
continue to fall tonight and early to-
morrow, the weather men said.
The new warm spell, following the
unusually mild Indian Summer weather
of last month, is being caused by a
southwestern disturbance, according to
bureau officials.
Warm southwest winds are moving
northward, bringing with them the rain
and snow. The forecasters believe an
other period of rainy weather will fol-
low within the next few days. The
minimum temperature tonight was fore
cast at 40 degrees.

dangering shipping.

last night only a few accidents caused
by slippery streets were reported
Twenty crashes were reported, most of
which occurred prior to midnight.

air transport operations out of the
