The month of February so far has
furnished its part of the winter pro-
gram, and the ground hog's prediction
for a couple week's more heavy weath-
er seems to be good. Baturday it be-
gan to snow, and for a couple days af-
ter there was more of the beautiful to
come down, until now we have over a
foot of it covering the ground,
Wednesday the blower was put on
and the snow was piled ap* in many
places deeper than it was intended to
be. Many roads are badly drifted but
travel is not seriously impeded. The
trains on the railroad are getting in a
little late, but the high wind blowing
this morning promises trouble.
Last night the thermometer dropped
and in different parts it registered from
11 to 20 degrees below. A high wind
was going all morning with the mer-
cury still zero, which makes the cold
the more penetrating.
