The weather bureau predicted rain
for Saturday night and Sunday. The
rain came in a little ahead of schedule
time, however, and began falling Sat
urday morning in light showers. Sat
urday night, though. It came in earn
est and fell all through the night, and
up to 9 or 10 o’clock Sunday morning,
when it changed to snow. The snow
came down thickly and In large flakes
for an hour or more, but as the ground
was so wet f:om the previous rain, it
melted as fast as it fell, and none lay
on the ground for any considerable
length of time.
The wind also blow hard at times,
the thermometer was down about the
forty mark, and altogether It was
about as disagreeable a day as one
would care to see; making people hug
the fire closely and feel glad that no
business called them forth from their
snug and cozy quarters.
Yesterday morning was fair, and
the air crisp and bracing. The mer
cury was down to thirty-two early in
the morning and ice was plentiful.
Later on in the day it turned off warm
and pleasant, and all outside work
was carried on as usual.
