Cold, Arctic Weather
In Rockies and Northwest
By the Associated Press
An arctic cold blast was losing
its hold in the Rocky Mountains
today, but the Weather Bureau
said moderation would be slow.
The wall of cold air plunged
temperatures as much as 30 below
zero. Up to 13 inches of snow was
reported, and two deaths were
attributed to an icy highway.
The coldest Montana reading
was Glasgow, -30. Others were
Havre -27 and Helena -20.
Subzero cold nipped both Ore
gon and Washington overnight as
the mercury hit the lowest levels
of the early winter snap.
The cold wave which had con
centrated on Washington for two
days extended its frigid arm south
to the California border. Klamath
Falls, in southern Oregon, report
ed an 8 below zero reading.
