On Thursday it began to rain, and this continued until nine p.m., when the wind veered to the north-west, becoming a gale, and a driving snow storm set in.

The hydro lines from Msrk dale to Owen Sound were put out of commission for several hours. This storm was followed by a sudden drop in temperature, the mercury falling to 10 below zero.
