For several years now the coldest weather has come in the shortest month of the year. The present month is to be no exception. Thursday and Friday were balmy spring-like days. Saturday the sky was overcast with dark clouds and the rain soon began. By nightfall, there was a downpour. This continued until late Sunday when the wind shifted, and the rain turned to beautiful snow. Monday the snow was accompanied by a Nor’wester, which lasted the earth in fury, then the mercury tumbled rapidly downward. All day and night the snow continued until the earth was carpeted with a mantle of unsurpassed beauty and brilliance. It is the deepest snow we have had and will make fine sleighing.
