Harsh Northwest winter weather disrupts travel and life
A Pacific storm battered the northern Rockies with blizzard like snows and 103 mph winds, closing roads and forcing travelers into shelters from Oregon to Montana. Snowplows and vehicles were blown from I 90 between Bozeman and Big Timber, causing damage in Livingston. Elsewhere cold and frost warnings spread to Arizona while heavy rain threatened flooding from the Mississippi Valley to the Great Lakes. In New Jersey a murder case centered on Westfield teacher John List saw his car found at Kennedy Airport and burned. Memphis officers faced multiple murder and assault charges in a teen beating tied to riots. A missing Danish freighter prompted a wide Coast Guard search near Midway Islands, with no trace found. Senator Humphrey announced plans to detail 1963 presidential race plans in January.
