Winds, which were gale force in
Midwest sections, diminished dur-
ing the night and southwesterly
winds were expected to send tern- ,
peratures above freezing today.
The blowing sonw, with falls rang-
ing up to more than a foot in some!
areas yesterday, kept many roads
blocked and thousands of cars
stalled.
Lashing winds swept snow again
early today in the Dakotas and
parts of Eastern Wyoming. North-
ern Wyoming reported six inches
of fresh snow. Strong, gusty winds
and some snow continued during
the night in the Eastern and North-
ern Great Lakes region. But the
vigorous storm which whipped
most of the Midwest the first two
days of spring moved into Eastern
Canada.
Coldest Spot
Cold air extended southward into
Northern Florida, the Gulf Coast
and South Central Texas early to-
day. It was cold in the Northern
Plains and parts of the upper Mis-
