Winter arrives
The area finally' got its first taste of a
typical southwestern winter on December 2.
Numerous schools and work were cancelled.
Motorists were asked to stay off of the
highways unless it was an emergency. The
temperatures took a drastic change, for
they went from 9 C at approxiniately 10 pin.
to -9 C. sometime throughout the night Sun-
day. •The mercury didn't Move much on
Monday. The strong winds made it nothing
short of a hinderance to see.
After experiencing a thunder storm un
Sunday afternoon, many believed this was a
sure sign of an open winter for another six
weeks. So much for that idea this tiiiic. In-
stead of it going up in smoke, it came clown
in snow:
Due to the weather, the Ladies' Auxiliary
postponed their Christmas Party from Mon-
day night to Tuesday night. Many activities
and plans had to be worked around concern-
ing many people and clubs.
