Spring Arrives In Blanket Os Snow By United Press International Spring arrived in Indiana today, slipping and sliding over a snow blanket several inches deep in the north and wading through flood waters in the south. Never in years was the mild season’s official arrival so heartily welcomed as it was this time when the most rigorous winter in 92 years of weather statistics came to an end at 3:20 a.m. EST. The winter set all-time records for cold temperature averages. At 7 a.m., the weatherman reported a four-inch snow lay on the ground at South Bend and a one-inch blanket at Fort Wayne with a trace at Lafayette. The snow activity ranged as far south and east as Cincinnati. In the south, many roads were closed by high water from flooding streams swollen by heavy rains last weekend and early this week. Main roads in the South Bend, Plymouth, Redkey and other areas in the north and northeastern portions of the state were covered with snow at dawn. Winter bowed out in a blaze of violence. Not content with its record of cold temperatures and snow, the season added floods and tornadic storms to its laurels in the last few days of its life. Temperatures ranged down into the sub-freezing 20s as the new season arrived, but a warmup was due Friday and Saturday to bring the readings more in line with normal for this time of year. Overnight lows ranpa. ‘’em 25 at South Bend to 32 ;.t Evansville after hitting highs nc warmer than 35 at South Band, 39 at Fort Wayne and 40 s.t Lafayette and Indianapolis Wednesday. Highs today will range from 37 to 52, lows tonight in the 20s again all around the state, and highs Friday from the upper 40s to the upper 50sFair weather was expected Friday and Saturday throughout the state, with Saturday temperatures ranging even higher than Friday’s.
