SUPPLEMENT TO McHENRY PLAINDEALER - PAGE 40 -FRIDAY. JANUARY 19, 1979 Winter Woes I n Business Area Snow and cold have dominated the winter season in McHenry, but there have been no conditions to equal the blizzard of the night of Jan. 25 and 26 in several years. The driving hazards of a snowfall of several inches was compounded by high velocity winds that gusted throughout the early morning hours, leaving impenetrable drifts that closed highways and made driving precarious even within the city. The photo above was taken shortly after 7 a.m. Thursday, showing McHenry city crews busy in an almost futile attempt to clear the snow. The scene looks north on Green street, with three pieces of equipment trying to keep up with continuing snowfall and drifting that closed McHenry and all other county schools.
