Cold Wave is Coming to Greet The Goundhog—Due Tonight.

The forecast for the next twentyfour hours looks uninviting. The snow which has been falliid since morning and which received a little start last night, is to be followed by much colder weather with a cold wave. The weatherman does not go into details to tell us what to expect but whenever he wants to make it impressive that there is really something 1 doing he says: “Miuch colder with a cold wave.” That is the language employed firxhis dispatch today. It may not be as bad as the weatherman makes it look and then again it may be a big sight worse. To be on the safe side it will probably be wise to take all the precautions against frozen pipes, etc. Winter is holding on with a firm grasp. ’TfiSfe was f every day during January and the last week of December and February makes a cold start with a promise from the weatherman for something worse.
