Arlington 23 Feb. 1947

Dear Doris:

We have had more weather this week than we had had all winter. It began to snow Thursday morning early. By the time I drove in with mother it had got rather slippery in places. Traffic was slow on the Memorial Bridge and I had a slippery trip across it, being as usual in the slowest line. It kept on steadily and Miss Atwood left early. We had invited Fosberg and Mr. Townes & wife & 2 children out that evening, but I got in touch with them & called it off. I started home about 2, bringing Mr. Allard with me, and got home all right although I had a little difficulty in places. By that time the snow was about 4 or 5 inches deep. Those that waited till 5.30 to come home had a bad time. The paper said 200 or 300 cars were in a jam from Memorial Bridge west. 

Friday I stayed in town and didn't try to get the car out. The snow had ended and was 8 inches deep or more. Mother & I were fortunate in getting a ride down to the Highway Bridge, where we got a bus. Busses were few & far between, & the wind was cold. I came home by bus with mother about 3 o'clock & we had no difficulty.

Yesterday I went to Lib. Congress in afternoon. It was very cold & no one offered me a ride, so I trudged down along the Boulevard to the stop at Sophie's former home and got a bus there. It was bitterly cold when I came home by bus, but I didn't have to wait long at the post office. One man's hat blew off
