SAN FRANCISCO. Jan. 16 (AP)
The far west buttoned up Its over
coats and shook out ltd umbrella as
a new storm boomed down from the
northwest today.
Snow was piled higher in the
mountains. Northern California riv
ers swelled, but kept below flood
stages because freezing temperatures
in the snow belt held back the run
off. However, central California saw a
snow thaw that threatened ununda
tlon of a block of ranch homes south
of Madera as the Fresno river and
Cottonwood creek overflowed a hun
dred square miles. Families and stock
were moved to higher ground.
Waahington saw a light snowfall
generally over the state. Tempera
tures flirted with the freezing mark
In the western section. Spokane had
eight inches on the ground: Yakima
an inch and Paradise valley, at Mount
Rainier, 134 Inches.
Snow-in Portland melted before a
cold rain. Sub-rro temperatures
were general in Oregon. Farmers
smiled at the deep snows being frozen
into miniature glaciers for next sum
mer's crops, but mountain drivers
skidded and swore.
Utah and southern Idaho rejoiced
In snowfall that ended a dry spell of
several weeks. The fall was generally
heavy.
