FRIDAY, DECEMBER 1, 1950 "WE'RE FORECASTING cloudy and more snow for Friday" was the passing remark made by John Sherrod (in left picture) as he mounted to the roof of the MI building yesterday to put up the weatherflags. The "snow flag" still is in his hand. In the right shot. William Bonner and William Dietz, meteorology students, look over teletyped weather facts received by the College from Louisville, Ky. Vacations Disrupted By Rain And Snow Penn State students screamed bloody murder over the week end in Pittsburgh as thousands of them were in the City for the Pitt game. There was no place to go—everything was closed, and even if there had been anything open, there was no way to get to it. One taxicab outside the Fort Pitt Hotel drew more customers than it could possibly, have been handled—even if it wasn’t stuck deep in the snow. In one 15- minute period, 13 people tried to hail the cab. * * * One staffer reports seeing a tractor floating down the Sus quehanna river outside of Har risburg at the height of the flood in that area. / 1 Altoona merchants got more than they bargained for in Christ mas decorations.

They, and others caught in the upper part of Pittsburgh, had no way of getting downtown. Sports publicist James Coogan and his wife and several others State party got as far as the downtown district of Pittsburgh and were forced to stay over night in the William Penn hotel. It normally takes 15 minutes to get from there to the Hotel Schenley where the Penn State fotoball team was quartered, but they couldn’t make it.
