The that real snow storm of the new . eon struck The Norwailui bite yuterday ' afternoon. and did not tie-int until nt~ . tar midnight. it in true than was a flurry in the morning. but the cicada broke away and the airy did not be- noon. and even than the storm did not make much program until about 'I: so in the evening. The now then began to tail in earnest and from every up» pearancc Norwaili was to experience a genuine blizzard thick and fast until the wind veered round from north to northwest, when to perform downriard stunts. ilnally reaching eight degrees above zero, at 6 o’clock this looming. enough to make walking a misery. and many falls by pedestrians were the re~ suit. The snow did not‘maferially in- lt put.the cars a little behind their schedule time. The wind breakers on the (root end of the cars were a great help in protecting the motormen. who doubtlessly would have suffered greatly were these protection not attached to the care. With a good big fur coat or ulster on. and thick overshoot; of fur boots the men who manipulate the hen- dles of the controller kept fairly com- fortable. The conductors also come in for their share of the cold weather. tin they have to keep continually jour- neying from the warm interior of the car to the cold of the rear platform. If they diess too heavily it makes things uncomfortable tpr them and a good share of them do not wear overconts. for the reason that it is more endura- ble without them. Last night's ’suow made a slippery rail. but with the an- siatanre of a liberal supply of sand the cars fared very well. As is always the ease. the cars in the outlying districts fared worst. The big electric sweeper. which belonged to the old Norwalk Street Railway Company. was not put in operation. as it was deemed unnec. canary. The machine, however. is in readiness for any emergency that may arise. Norwalk commuters did not exper- ience such discomforts as those living in points in New York state and New Jersey. or other lines than the New York. New Haven and Hartford rail- road. Trains on the latter road were the case on other roads running out of New York. The tramp house, in Smith street. fortunates. They were all out bright more energetic succeeded in making a little money sweeping the snow from sidewalks. while the majority were content with begging something to eat and moving on to the next town. One single bunch of six hoboea went up Main street about 7:30. About the ed down Wall street to West avenue. The snow storm which descended here yesterday came on from Cape Hat- tcraa. and last night the realm of dis- ttiibamo was off Block island.
