Streets were slippery from sleet and
temperatures dropped as a fresh on
slaught of winter weather struck this
city and section last night. Automo-
bile windshields were coated with ice
and the city streets made traffic
hazardous.
Skies were overcast and a drizzling
rain set in late in the afternoon Tues
day and continued most of the night,
turning to sleet as fast as it fell.
Toward Woodworking today, the ice
began to melt, but a drizzle of rain
continued most Of the time. Weather

with rain.
