THE WEATHER.
Mr i’aulin telephoned at t?,lf) p.m. today;—“ Light to moderate B.W. to S.E, winds and cold rain or snow showers ; indications unsettled.”
A thaw set in this morning, and throughout the day the snow has melted rapidly. The trams in city and suburbs were running as usual to-day.
The Otago Central train was over an hour late last night, and instead of reaching town at it was 7. .TO before it came in. The c inse of the delay was that a very heavy drift of snow was encountered a mile above the viaducl, the snow being banked up as high as the bead-lamp of Urn engine, with the result that the train had to bo pulled up while all hands set to work to clear the line. The North express arrived at the usual time, and the (South express also kept to the timetable until the Burnside cattle yards were readied. Here the quarter-past six train from Dunedin was met, haying come to a standstill through a breakdown of the engine. The line having been cleared again the express came on.
