The wind, of halfgale velocity, was felt as far as Pittsburgh, where freezing temperatures prevailed. The ■wind swept down the coast from the Great Lakes region In the wake of heavy rain and thunder storms Sunday. Syracuse and other upstate New York residents brought out their overcoats again as snow fell throughout the area Monday. Seven inches of snow was reported in Copenhagen, N.
