Snow and Ice Sweep Across Northern States
Winter followed a Virginia vacationer to the South as readings showed 34 below. The weather bureau reported light western mountain snow and heavy northern snow with depths topping 152 inches at Lookout Pass Montana and 146 at Crater Lake Oregon. From northern California to the Atlantic the snow blanket varied, with three feet in parts of Maine and New Hampshire and ten to thirty inches in northern New England and the Great Lakes region. Ice slowed water transport with Lake Champlain frozen January 26 and the Madison River navigation closed January 22 at Albany. The Potomac froze at Washington and ice breakers operated there and on the Chesapeake, even affecting the capital's oyster supply. Baldhead Island noted snowfall. South Carolina lacked a snow plow.
