attempting to weld the muffler on
his snowmobile.
The victim of the tragic occtir-
rence was James Stanley Hodgins,

and 'storm always brings up the
subject of the March storms of
1947. But statistics don't lie, and
judging from the volume of snow in
1977, compared to 1947, it makes
the 1947 winter look like a bit of a
picnic.
December 1946 recorded 29" of
snow; January 1947 snowed 40";
February 1947 produced a snowfall
of 54.5" and March 1947 saw a
snowfall of 29.5".
The bad storm of 1947 struck
March 3rd blocking roads and the
railroad with railway snowplow and
engines derailed north of Lucknow
from March 6th to 96.
Lucknow, and many area com-
munities were completely isolated
for several days that month, but in
those days, the snow removal
equipment was in its infancy as
compared to 1977. With today's
snow removal equipment, the
problem would not have been as
critical.
Another storm struck on March
25th, 1947 with winds up to' 65
m.p.h., with roads and the railroad
blocked for three days.
Just before this second storm
struck in 1947, the temperatures
were 49, 46 and 49 degrees F. on
March 23, 24 and 25, so much of
the snow accumulation had settled
and melted.
During the storm the tempera-
ture dropped to 10 degrees, but
bounded back up to 40 degrees by
April 1st.

When the body was discovered,
the tractor had run out of gas.

Robert, resided with their widowed •
