Storm Damage. Surprise was expressed by the town- folks this morning when upon awak- ening they discovered that the weath- er had changed so suddenly during the night. At midnight it was rain- ing and a balmy breeze like to those which blow in the spring time brought vision of blue bells and daisies to the mind. This morning, however, dispelled any illusions that might have been formed over night, for Plainville awoke to a fine sleet and hail storm. Damage to telephone wires was re- ported from various sections of the town, but no serious breaks were known of. Trolley traffic was slowed up by the ice and snow on the rails, and many of the cars going to and from Meriden were hetween ten and fifteen minutes late. Train traffic was reported as bad as usual, with he ice and snow doing their part to make it worse, and people will soon give up hopes of getting in or out of the town on the steam trains in a few weeks. Walking and driving was a precari- ous occupation this morning and many pedestrians were seen, half blinded by the driving hail, sMeping and sliding along, while automobiles and wagons crawled at a snail's pace. Very few ventured out today. Local weather prognosticators state that no cessation of the storm would occur until the wind shifted from the north- ecast.
