1914 - Snow and Lightning - Peculiar Storm in This City - Severe South Wind Follows.

St. Albans and vicinity experienced a very peculiar and unusual storm Saturday afternoon about 4 o'clock.

About noon the mercury began to drop and at 4 o'clock a snow storm occured. The flakes were large and fell thick and fast, melting almost as they fell.

Then suddenly out of the blinding storm came flashes of lightning. It was a most beautiful sight, the great flashes appearing through millions of snow flakes. There were also loud crashes of thunder to make the storm more uncanny.

The snow soon disappeared, but a severe south wind prevailed all the evening.
