Old man > winter put •heavy hand on Kentucky and Rockcastle County Wednes-day.

Following 50 degree tem-peratures on Tuesday, a total of five inches of snow fell on the county between 6 a. m., and 4 p. m. Wednesday

To add to "the discomfort of the snow—the deepest the county March 1960—tho temperature fell steadily all day Wednesday. At 8 p. m. the temperature was 4 degrees below zero and-expected to go f r o m ^ O to 16 below zero by. Thurs-day morning. The only hope held out for the temperature to level off at about zero depended on the cloud cover Clearing usually b r i n g s colder temperatures.

With temperatures at 10 below zero, the area would still be warmer than it wa: in December when _the tem-perature dropped to 14 be-low zero j t Mt. Vernon.

Despite the deep snow, traff ic moved along on Main highways but a t a slower pace. No serious accidents

reported as most dents sought warm spots and stayed with them.

Late Wednesday, the Wea-ther Bureau reported general thawing is in s ight The bureau speculated more snow would come on week end and would ' find most of the present snow waiting.

In March 1960, a total of 18 inches of snow accumula-ted over the county. For those who have forgotten, there was snow o n . the ground from Feb. 26 through April 4.
