Scribe: Jonne Walters Widespread Snow Is Heading Eastward Means More Trouble For Northwest States - By UNITED PRESS A widespread snowstorm,. making up in size what it lacked in punch, moved bulkily eastward' today and promised more trouble in the hard-hit North Atlantic states. Few points east of the Continental Divide escaped the turbulent storm, the Midwest’s worst of the season, as it clumped foot-high snows “in Lebanon, Kan, and turned into death traps with rainy downpours in the Southeast. At .. least 14 weather - caused deaths were tallied around the nation as & result of traffic accidents and frigid temperatures. In West Finley, Pa., a mother and four ,of her children were killed when gas room heaters consumed all the oxygen in their sealed twostory home, creating deadly carbon monbxide. Snow continued to pelt the eastern and southern Great Lakes region during the night, reaching down into the eastern sections of Kansas and Oklahoma. Rains raced ahead of the snow front, through the Gulf states to the South Atlantic coast. If you have sumeuung aeß a rooms tdr rent, try a Democrat Want Ad, it brings results.
