Rain And Snow

We have had variety of winter
weather this week, with heavy rain
Monday, and Tuesday snow, that
melted nearly as fast as it fell. AT
night more snow fell.
The ground was covered to a
depth of probably two inches, which
compared to other sections told over
TIE radio and through the newspa-
pers, was mere trifie. Heavy snow
and blocked traffic reports come from
the western part of our State, and
elsewhere, SO it appears we were just
on the edge of the storm.
