The New England weather zigzagged from a sunny December Saturday with closed brooks skated by crowds on mill pond and Goddard's pond to a Sunday storm that spoiled church attendance and hindered driving. A brief thunder shower knocked out the north end fire alarm and cooled temperatures. Leroy S Mitchell and Faith M Thompson marked their 50th wedding anniversary in Chelsea, Massachusetts, celebrated quietly as a big snowstorm was recalled by locals. Foxes and rabbits are now hunted in adjacent woods and pastures.
