which lashed other parts Of the
country. Even after the cold
penetrated, the area remained q
sort Of island In the center Of the
heavy winds and SHOWS that vis-
tied most Of the Midwest and
East.
The slow arrival Of snow and
cold here was attributed by the
Weather Bureau to a strong low
pressure area which moved into
Virginia yesterday. acting as a
shield to the storm bowling all
about.
Some Areas Flooded.
The low center between the cold
and warm air set up q strong
circulation of winds, pushing
against the cold wind moving in.
While blizzards struck elsewhere,
this area was caught in the midst
of strange electrical storm.
Heavy rain. together with the sub
sequent snow, totaled nearly two
inches Of precipitation.
The rain flooded Easements in
some areas. and caused other dam

completed drain leading from
Georgetown Reservoir, washed out
a section of the Capital Transit
Co.'s Cabin John streetcar line.
About 10 feet Of the double

deep. washed out when the water
roared out Of an open section Of
