Corry Endures Heavy Snow and Plunging Cold
Six inches of new snow and temperatures down to eight below zero slowed Corry activities but did not stop daily life. Snowbanks crippled pipes and meters while the City Streets Department worked round the clock to keep traffic moving. Downtown snow removal starts at 11 p m with Center Washington Main and South streets cleared first. Three deaths occurred but not tied to the weather. Streets Superintendent Walter Ross says equipment holds up and plows will widen narrow roads as thaw calls come in. A single minor tragedy stemmed from street conditions as plumbers rushed to thaw frozen pipes.
