Winter Napping; One Year Ago Blizzard Struck Winter, his hoary head nodding, appears to be drowsing this year, at least in and around Freeport, after a tiring round of blusterings in 1959 and 1960 and a whirlwind tour of the east this past week. One year ago today, Freeport was in the midst of a three-day blizzard with snowfall totaling 10.1 inches which isolated the city and county and paralyzed a major portion of northern Illinois. Temperatures at the same time began to skid downward to the lowest mark recorded for the winter up to that time. And in 1959 on the same dates misty rain, snow and sleet formed a heavy glaze over the area. In contrast, this year's snowy season has been all but snowless with balmy weather prevailing for some time and expected to continue for several days yet.

Average high for the past week was a "sizzling" 35 with an average low of 12. The high Thursday was 44 and the low last night 24. The temperature at 11 a.m. today was 40.
