City crews race to free stalled vehicles including a Chevrolet, a Walters bulldozer, and a nurse to Bath Memorial Hospital. Rail service resumes slowly while mail and telephone exchanges stay active. A rescue party hauls an expectant mother to hospital by snowshoe and toboggan after plowing efforts fail.
