Hackett's Farm Equipment Lucknow • morning when the big snow squalls blocked the roads. One of the few making it from Kin- cardine to Ripley and back was Bev Clark to pick upthe news. Bev took the Shore.road past Boiler Beach to the top of the hill at Bruce Beach and the 8th from there the route was east to Pirie River and on into Ripley. Bev returned by the same route. Earlier in the morning the visibility forced, Bruce Nuclear workers to turn back. Two different people have- mentioned the blocking of the 15th north as perhaps due to the trimming out of the lower limbs of the •evergreen windbreak, which runs along the west Aide of the road. The trimtiing of the limbs allows the winds to blow through carrying. the snow with it. Then the 15th .pavement in places was not built up to let the snow.blow,off when it was first constructed back in -1948. Fly away or drive -away south is the thing to do.
