There were heavy showers of rain and sleet during the morning, and just at noon came a light fall of snow — too light to lie.
Tile medo-st snowstorm lasted about -5 minutes and gave place to rain, but at intervals more snow fell and shortly _ after one o’clock the flakes came big and thick and fast. However this storm also soon closed. The weather remained cold throughout the afternoon with frequent light falls of snow.
