(See NUMB, page 14A ) Winter shows no mercy as snow hits Northeast From oar wire services A storm that shackled in ice end-of-the-boli- day travel in the South went on Monday to dump snow and freezing rain on the northeastern quarter of the nation. It left hundreds of schools closed and inter-state highway systems temporarily shut down across the South. Bitter cold for so early in toe season assailed most of the nation east of the Rockies. Ice hampered barge traffic on the upper Missis-sippi River and a gas line rupture left residents of three St Paul, Minn., suburbs without natural gas in sub-ser- o temperatures. TheNational Weather Service was pessimistic about chances for improvement In its 20th storm summary on the current outburst of winter-lik-e weather, the weather service said it "will be several days before normal temperatures are experienced once again." Lusty squalls off toe Great Lakes dumped from six inches (15 centi-meters) to a foot (30 centimeters) of snow on sections of northwest New York and northern Ohio. Warnings (See PLANE, page 14A)

(See NUMB, page 14A ) Winter shows no mercy as snow hits Northeast From oar wire services A storm that shackled in ice end-of-the-boli- day travel in the South went on Monday to dump snow and freezing rain on the northeastern quarter of the nation. It left hundreds of schools closed and inter-state highway systems temporarily shut down across the South. Bitter cold for so early in toe season assailed most of the nation east of the Rockies. Ice hampered barge traffic on the upper Missis-sippi River and a gas line rupture left residents of three St Paul, Minn., suburbs without natural gas in sub-ser- o temperatures. TheNational Weather Service was pessimistic about chances for improvement In its 20th storm summary on the current outburst of winter-lik-e weather, the weather service said it "will be several days before normal temperatures are experienced once again." Lusty squalls off toe Great Lakes dumped from six inches (15 centi-meters) to a foot (30 centimeters) of snow on sections of northwest New York and northern Ohio. Warnings (See PLANE, page 14A) |
