<DIV>Fall of 1949 it snowed at Thanksgiving, and wind was blowing car haulers
off the</DIV>
<DIV>Columbia Highway. In February 1950 it was 3 above in Seattle and 8
above in</DIV>
<DIV>Portland with another Alaska storm on the way. We hit ice as far
south as the</DIV>
<DIV>Cartinez Bridge out of Martinez CA. It froze at night in Walnut
Creek, and</DIV>
<DIV>I found a block of ice under the fender of my 1937 Olds coupe, with
and</DIV>
<DIV>Oregon rabbit encased in it.</DIV>
