and threatened blocking the
major highways.
Thirteen inches of fresh sn£.j\ ias|
fallen in the last three days md
with the wind of yesterday the tiiow
was drifting badly, especially on the
Apple way, near Ross Point and Post
Falls.
The same holds true in the Worley
district. All snowplow apparatus is in
use and last night all roads were open
for travel. It was reported by a Spo-
kane-Coeur d'Alene bus driver that
the snow was six feet deep in one
place on the Apple way.
Snow has drifted on Rathdrum
prairie higher than an automobile.
The blizzard recalls the storm two
years ago when drifting snow tied up
