Weather Thursday: high 35,
low 27, hum. 50%. At 7 a.m.
Friday there was an additional
.35 inches of precipitation or 4" of
snow. This made a total of 11” of
snow over a three day period.
Friday morning the sun was out
and the temperature got above
the freezing point and the snow on
the highways began to melt. If no
more winter storms come
through we should start getting
back to normal again.
The slippery highways have
continued to cause minor
accidents. We still hadn’t heard
of a serious accident as of Friday
noon, but there were many minor
ones.
The tragic airplane crash in
Washington Wednesday brought
out several instances of bravery.
An unknown middle-aged man on
the doomed Air Florida aircraft
repeatedly gave up a lifeline
thrown to him in the ice-clogged
Patomac River so that five other
people might live. He gave his
life. Another hero was Lenny
Skutnik, a Congressional Budget
Office employee who was
watching the rescue. He jumped
into the water and helped pull an
unidentified woman to shore.
