Weather Wilts Cambridgians

A harassed Cambridge, first smothered by a four inch snowfall and then frozen by a zero-degree cold was yesterday subjected to further indignities when it was drowned in an unseasonal 1.31 inch rain, buffeted by 68 mile-per-hour winds, and beaten by quarter inch pellets of hall.

The downpour reached its maximum drenching power between 5:50 and 6 p.m. when the rainfall amounted to approximately a quarter of an inch. At 6 p.m. the cloudburst turned into a chilly thunderstorm.
