"Snow in the City

VEHICLES SKID IN SLIPPERY STREETS

Some 15 years ago there was a comparatively heavy fall of snow in Palmerston North, but there has not been such a visitation in tho city in recent years until this week, when there was a light smattering on Tuesday, and a slightly heavier fall yesterday morning. A severe frost, readings of 9½ degrees at the Boy's’ High School and 10½ degrees at Massey College being recorded, formed a thin skin of ice on the snow. Nine frosts have been experienced in Palmerston North during the past 14 days."
