|
The winter of 94’ and 95’ will
be long remembered both for its excessive snow fall and extremely cold
weather. On Feb. 7th, 1895
a snow storm began and continued through Friday. The thermometer dropped to 16 below and the
wind blew a gust from 75 to 100 miles an hour. The train from Ulysses Friday morning was
stuck in the drifts two miles below Ulysses.
The train men worked all day, but could make no headway against the
drifts. Two engines left Lawrenceville
to help break the drifts and stalled before reaching the summit. With supreme efforts by the crews they
reached Ulysses late Saturday evening.
Sunday they hired a large force of men and shoveled and pushed their
way through to Lawrenceville. No effort was made to break out
the wagon roads Saturday or Sunday and no stages attempted to leave. |
