Blizzard Paralyzes City With Nine Inches of Snow
Yesterday a blizzard dumped nine inches of damp snow on the city followed by cold winds that piled snow on driveways and froze rails. Rail service was crippled, streetcars ran briefly with double headers, and crews worked all night to clear lines, restoring normal service by 6 AM. Across the northwest the storm raged, with Milwaukee reporting winds up to 40 miles per hour and the public works board hiring snow shoveling crews to reopen crossings and downtown streets within a week.
