New England was soaketi by its

forecaster in the Miami Weather

“The storm is' grabbing up cold

At the same time, ■ warmer,
moist air flowed in from the
ocean over parts of the distur-

produced yesterday’s severe noi th-
rust icing. The continued flow
of warmer air resulted in today’s
thawing. / • ’
Dunn said winter storms of
this magnitude occur only once
every, five or ten years.

nesday. No rain is in sight.
The mercury dipped to b low of ,
31 degrees early thi* morning,!
and a chilly wind kept tempera-1
tuies lather -coor throughout;
much of the day.
Maximum Monday was 55.
Here is the long-range weather
forecast for the enstgrn half of
the state — east and central Tex.

Temperatures will average 4
to -8 degrees below normal the
next 5 days. Normal minimum 27
to 37 in the north, 37 40 45' in
the- south......and 45 to 51 in the
extreme south. Normal maximum
61 to 68 degrees. No important
temperature changes expected, al-
though it should be a little warm-’
