Cold Wave Will End Today, Expert Claims

While Boston and vicinity shivered from the tail end of the storm that has been raging out west, John H. Connover, Chief Observer and Research Assistant of the Harvard Blue Hill Observatory in Milton prophesied in an interview last night that the cold spell will end soon.

"We will not get any more precipitation, rain or snow," he continued. "It has been cold enough up here for snow, though. Today the temperature is six degrees above, and the wind is blowing, on the average, 40 miles per hour. It has even reached 80 in occasional gusts."

Connover feels that this is the last bit of cold weather that we will have this winter. Although he refuses to predict the date of the arrival of spring, he says that warmer weather is due from now on, and expects the first of it today.
