• Those two weeks' of sunny warm spring
weather in the middle of February 1984 were
most welcome and appreciated.
Take last Thursday afternoon Feb. 23 the
temperature was 54 to 55 degrees
Fahrenheit. Over at the ' Ripley District
School the students were enjoying the out-
doors, especially the swings.This thaw
melted away those five and' slit foot high
snow banks lining the sides of roads all
through WesternOntario here.
On Friday and Saturday with the new
weather front sweeping over the area it was
now chilly outside. On Sunday morning the
ground, which was hare for a few days, was
again covered with a light early morning
snowfall. Perhaps the 1984 winter will be
remembered as the one which had its
January thaw in February. Also today is
February 29 - the Leap Year Day.

week an orange coloured Canadian National
