March 1-3 Thus – Sat
The greatest storm on record – began to snow Wed. and snowed till
late Friday night – 43 in. on dead level! That’s 3 ft. 7 inches!! The
streets a sight, all cars ordered to the barns Thurs. morning and
some of them not there yet – some look as tho’ they were going to stay in
the suburbs till summer – 2 spent Wed night on our
Clarissa St. Bridge & have been standing by the
Erie freight house ever since – The Lyell & Univ. Ave.
line now open & parts of a few others – but people mostly
using their own legs – grocer’s wagons – “buses” and “hacks”. Thursday
morning Claude & I waded down the
middle of the street in a blinding storm – which kept up all day –
(half the city didn’t venture out at all). Con took me to a jolly lunch at Sibley's and then we went over to the
Lyceum to make sure Mary
Irwin had arrived.
Gilmore said we might go home at 4, &
I decided not to go to the theater – but when I went to tell
Con he said “no. no” & so did
Claude, who was going with Hilliard. So I did as they wished.
Telephoned the O. Asylum
& had dinner with Con in the
Whitcomb Housediningroom! It was funny. Drummers & things –
Con showed me his
Panama pictures – which are fine.
