THURSDAY. APRILS, 1915.
Cold And Warm.
Blizzard Hits Eastern Coast
Severely.
Last Saturday, while the people of this
part of the State were experiencing a
cold cutting northeast wind, thousands
of people a few miles east of us were
experiencing one of the worst blizzards
of the winter -snow, hail and wind. At
Thurmont there was not more than a
trace of snow.
Reports from cities along the Atlantic
Coast state that the snow measured from
four to nine inches in depth and that the
wind attained a velocity of 60 and 75
miles per hour.
The great Easter parade at Atlantic
City had to be called off on account of
the snow and slush on the miles of board
walk, and thousands of visitors to that
city were deprived the privilege of show
ing off their new Easter gown and hat.
Norfolk, Va., reported the worst storm
in 28 years, the wind driving the water
into the streets of the city three feet
deep and doing considerable damage.
Telephone and telegraph wires were
blown down and communication with all
nearby points were cut off.
New York reported considerable snow
and heavy wind. A number of persons
were injured by signboards which were
torn from their fastenings.
The disturbance was general from
Florida to New York, the force being
felt greatest off Cape Hatteras, snow
falling as far south as the South Carolina
coast. Many small vessels were destroy
ed or damaged, and a number of lives
tost at sea.
On Sunday, Easter Day, the sun shone
beautifully in this vicinity, the tempera
ture rose and during the afternoon over
coats were almost useless. The temper
ture continued rising and Tuesday after
noon, April 6th, the mercury rose to 70
in the shade. Thus in four days we ex
perienced some real winter, spring and
summer temperatures. Thunder showers
are next in order.
