Spring was ushered in on Sunday
with one of the heaviest snowfalls
of the season. 1t started late in
the afternoon and continued
throughout the night and until late
Monday afternoon, covering the
ground to IA depth of nearly six
inches. 1t was wet snow, OF
course. and for the first two OF
three hours melted almost as fast
as it fell. While the highways were
wet, fortunately the snow did not
obscure them. They were slushy
but the mercury did not drop low
enough to cause them to become
real slippery. The snow was the
biggest at the opening of the spring
season in many years. and for three
hours Monday morning it looked
like lower Delaware was in for a
March blizzard.
