MAIN ROADS BLOCKED
LARGE AREAS SNOWBOUND
COMMUNICATION CUT OFF
(British Official Wireless.) RUGBY, February 24. Large areas of .England are snowbound, and the blizzard in South Wales today was the worst experienced for some years. In Yorkshire and other Northern counties many roads are impassable. Deep snow drifts block some of' the main roads in the West of England and elsewhere, isolating small villages. Telephonic communication with South Wales and with Ireland is interrupted; and heavy delay has occurred on some main line rail services, particularly between London and the west, while some local services have been suspended. London and the Southern counties were visited by the blizzard this afternoon. ■
