Eastern Canada storm tops winter with fierce winds and snow
The strongest blizzard in the region this winter lashes Eastern Canada and New York with blowing snow. Wrecked chimneys, avalanches, tangled telegraph wires, and trains halted as rail lines arrange lodgings for stranded passengers. A Scottish misadventure with a snake in New Jersey woodpiles adds a surreal note amid the weather chaos. New Jersey’s population leads gains since the last election. Religious services plan for April 30 across New Jersey churches at sunrise as the State Historical Society pursues the effort.
