Snow storm |
At 7 o'clock Saturday morning
a heavy snow storm set in, which continued with little abatement until
11 o'clock; but, owing to the saturated condition of the earth from
the rains of the previous night, the snow melted rapidly, and
yesterday morning had entirely disappeared from the streets. The storm
seems to have been general throughout the State, and caused some
obstruction to railroad transportation.
The sudden thaw, it is apprehended, will cause another freshet in the
river. |
