BLIZZARD RAGING
Worst Storm in Years Sweeping Over Welland
[Welland Telegraph, 23 February 1912]
A real live blizzard, the worst this winter, was raging in Welland on Wednesday and Thursday, and up to Thursday noon had not subsided. Snow drifts are piled everywhere and some of the streets are almost blocked with drifts.
A great deal of snow fell and the strong wind whirled it in every direction. At times it was almost impossible to be out of doors, the whirling snow filling one’s eyes and the wind almost taking away one’s breath.
All railways were badly affected by the storm. On all the lines the trains were late and on several the service was completely tied up. There were no trains running on the T.H.&B on Thursday morning, and on Wednesday night the mail from Toronto did not come in.
The snow shovel has regained its prominence.
