Only about an inch and a halt of snow fell Thursday night and early yesterday but. the high wind and severe cold produced near- blizzard conditions. All highways in the Province were blocked to motor traffic.

The snowfall, while comparative- ly light, was driven by high winds across all roads and the sub-zero temperature hardened the snow- flakes into fine, hard particles which packed into the cuttings with a firmness unequalled in any previous storm. this winter.

The Department of Public Works did not send any of its plows out
