Winter Attempts
Belated Comeback

Winter attempted to stage a
comeback in Garrett county Tues
day, Tuesday night and early We'd
nesday, but outside of making it
difficult for motorists to see clear
ly where they were driving, the
results were negligible.

most of Tuesday night but cleared
quickly when the suns rays
reached them Wednesday morning.

county and blizzard-like conditions
prevailed Tuesday night as winds
were strong. The temperature
dropped to 20 degrees after hav-
ing been around the 30-degrces

pretty well cleared of snow due
to the warming temperatures of
the past week plus some rainfall.
However. some drifts are still
noticeable.
Again on Wednesday afternoon
it appeared the county was right
back in the very midst of winter.
Snow to depth of about two
inches fell within a three hour
period making about q inches for
the two days. The fields and trees
( we're covered but the snow that
fell on the highways melted about
as fast as it fell.
The weather cleared toward eve
ming and Wednesday night there
was bright moon Thursday be-
gan clear and moderate.
For other days of the week there
was rain and warming tcmpcra-
lures. There was a light drizzle
last Thursday night and Friday
morning, the weather clearing in
the afternoon Saturday remained
fairly clear but rain fell on both
Sunday and Monday in quantities
that caused people to wonder if
streams might not rise again to
flood level Streams did become
high but for the most part re-
NAMED within their banks
Over one half inch of rain was
noted in the Oakland area on
Sunday Savage river dam had its
gates nearly wide open to allow
