100 years ago: the wind was high and penetrating Weather was "blustery, blustery By JIM The weather was "blustery, blustery" one hundred years ago this week. The March 25, 1914 edition of the News cut right to chase by remarking, "Last Thursday [March 19th] was the most disagreeable day of the winter," then elaborated by stating, "A sticky snow commenced to fall about 10 o'clock [that morning], and continued until after night fall. The wind was high and penetrating. It was not only a rough day to the human family, but stock, horses, cattle and sheep, not housed." Another entry noted that by Friday morning, March 20th, the snow depth measured five inches in Columbia, but in a moment of "if you have lemons, make lemonade" philosophical reflection, added that the snow was "fine on the growing crop of wheat." In this edition of the News, the Gradyville correspondent reported this visitation of "the beautiful" as the biggest snowfall of the winter. That was echoed the following week by the Russell Creek scribe, the snow in that locale measuring three inches. Also in the April 1 edition came the slightly belated report from Edith that "The farmers are very busy getting wood since the snow," while the correspondent for the McGaha section groused, "The weather is so bad, people are late getting their corn ground broke." (Compiled by Jim, reporting from north of Green River, where the January thaw arrives in July.) This story was posted on 2014-03-20 11:14:26
