The meteorological report in its natter of fact way describes the cause of telt this as "north to north- west gales, with snowfall in some places," 10 most of the areas here re- ferred to the land is hilly, and even a moderate amount. Of snow swept by strong winds piles the hollows full so that motor vehicles are halted and even powerful snowplows can coo little until the gale abates. It is not so clear why the area west of Dublin should so inevitably impose a barrier to travel when storms come. No. 8 Highway there is virtually level.

That, in fact, may afford a clue of some sort, for the township of McKillop, along the north of the highway, is almost completely denud- ed of trees, quite unlike Tuckersmitb to the south, and a northwest gale gets full sweep across the empty fields. Along most of the mileage to Seafortb there are enough trees in rows along the right of way to hold drifting snow in the wrong place, but few on the farms to check either wind or snow. Snow fencing is usual- ly placed where experience has shown drifting to he likely, but not along a level area like this. There is nothing to do but wait until the gale is spent and then set the plows to work.
