I I kJ I Heaviest snow falls on parts of midstate By United Press United International Parts of Central Indiana were hit by the heaviest snow of the season today, but far northern counties, victims of earlier onslaughts, missed out on the latest action.

At South Bend, more than a foot of old snow was still around.

There was plenty of advance warning and apparently a number of Hoosiers, especially those in the Indianapolis area, took advantage of the Information.
