On St. Valentine's day in 1899 Die largest snow this section had ever seen covered the earth. The thermometer went to 1 below z?ro, and many bird" perished from cold and hunger. Ice froze to such thick ness that it wa3 harvested for use the following summer, and D. Scott Poole says that, according to re ports, it took many years lor the bluebirds to get started again in the sandhills. They all perished in the cold spell which lasted for several days.
