CATTARAUGUS REPUBLICAN, WEDNESDAY, DEC. *8, t»SS PAGE THREf r lo w F L U R R I E S N J) C O L D W IN D IE R A L D S T O R M tin Changes to Sleet, Snow, a n d Driving Becomes ‘Miserable* but All Highways Re ported Open A cold and blustery wind and snow t*ies played a prelude Tuesday to predicted advent of a w intry bliz- th a t already had gripped the west and was moving inexorably ^eastw ard. f. An east wind brought a heavy fall o f wet, sticky snow during Monday evening th a t rendered visibility al- ‘taost nil at times and kept county ►snowplows active. In this section cen ters of highway generally were bare, but snow covered, the sides of pave ments, choppy in some places, in oth ers smooth and slippery, making the going difficult. k Temperatures rose during the night and there was some rain. Snow in Main street turned to slush Tues day, but under the sweep of a cold west wind i t soon turned to ice. Sleet fell a t times. In the city, streets were slippery overm u c h of the double holiday, cars skidded readily, especially when brakes were applied, and some minor accidents were reported, but none in volving injuries to persons. The county highway office in Little Valley reported th a t while most of the county roads were rutty , all were open andl only a few snow plows were in operation Tuesday. The roads have been cindered \wherever nec essary, officials said, but they de scribed driving conditions as \miser able.” Tem p eratures here hovered near or below the freezing point over most of the holiday. -\■Railroads here reported trains on time and no delays as yet attributable to storm conditions. W inter Sports E n joyed Skiing and tobogganing at the Fish Hill playground near Ellicottville were enjoyed by only a few enthus iasts who ventured out in the blustery 'eather of Christmas Day. The tow ope for skiers was operated only a Short time, and the toboggan course ?a& not in condition for use, al though lovers of th a t sport used the side hill near the ski course. The wind spent its fury at the playground, which is at the top of the hill, unpro tected from the wind, and only the most ardent of enthusiasts spent much time at skiing and toboggan ing. The shelter at the top of the bill was a welcome respite. Christmas Monday, however, with its milder weather, saw a more eager crowd of winter sport enthusiasts out for skiing and tobogganing on hills in this vicinity. Several Salamanca young people went to Little Valley to skate on the village rink thex*e Monday, and a con siderable crowd was on the ice de spite blustery weather during the afternoon. The shelter house was open. A radio provides music for the skaters and the rink is lighted by flood lights. GALE BUFFALO; ONE MAN DIES Buffalo, Dec. 27 (/P)— Koai'ing in from the Great Lakes, a 61-mile-an- hour -wind swept Buffalo today, in directly causing one death and ser iously hampering pedestrian traffic. An unidentified man about 57 years old, buffeted by the near gale, staggered into the lobby of the State Office Building in downtown Buf falo, collapsed and died. Ropes for pedestrians to cling to were strung along the curb on some streets in the business section as the going became difficult, and num er ous hats w ent sailing through the air. Barking restrictions and other remov able traffic signs were bowled over. Slight flurries of snow accompan ied the high wind, after a \green” Christmas in the wake of several days of mild weather. of the cold wave tonight. Snow was forecast for Tennessee, Kentucky, Virginia, Maryland, Pennsylvania and most of New England. New York City and New England generally enjoyed clear, crisp weath er. Temperatures hovered around the freezing mark. Storm warnings were issued by the W eather Bureau for Lake Michigan and for the Atlantic Goast from Cape H a tteras to Sandy Hook, N.
