In New York State highway
crews struggled to knock down
towering drifts and rescue
hundreds of stranded motor
lists from the Thruway and
other roads.
The Thruway had been
closed since Friday midnight
from Syracuse to Buffalo by
a bowling storm that dumped
up to IS inches of snow on
the State.
Although the weather bureau
said winds were diminishing
from their 50-plus pace of the
last two days, road crews still
had to master drifts up to 18
feet high IN temperatures that
were well above zero but gen.
orally below freezing.
Restless motorists from more
than a thousand vehicles along
the thruway passed the time in
restaurants.
Police and sheriff's deputies
combed the roads. sometimes on
foot, in search of any snow
bound travellers who might
have been overcome,
One man was found uncon-
scious in a drift near Ithaca.
Six deaths since Thursday
night were attributed to the
storm.

Slaught encased most Of New

generally escaped and were
busy cleaning up from the
