Not Enough Snow For City Snow Blower In Use
Five inches of snow fell in Raleigh County since Friday with more expected this afternoon. The Weather Bureau at the airport forecasts continued snow and a high of 22 degrees. Road crews are salting and scraping as flights operate with one unable to land. City officials say there is not enough snow to warrant using the snow blower purchased in 1964. Several weekend accidents occurred on icy roads with injuries reported to Rev. E. Bedford Morris and others. Police cite two-car crashes on Neville and Prince Streets and West Virginia Secondary 29 with total damages around $2,500 and $600 respectively.
