Rail and interurban lines were crippled, the Clover Leaf yarded trains sixty hours late, and isolation persisted as workers struggled to clear tracks toward Van Buren and Bluffton. Local residents braved the cold, with several accounts of stranded cars and courageous commutes to reach Marion and settlements nearby.
