around.” the forecasters said. “It’s
settling down pretty well all over
the country and behind it is a lot
more of the same air—with tem
peratures in parts of Canada as
low as 35 and 40 below zero.
“There’ll be some moderation in
about two days, but even so. it
will remain below normal most of
this week.”
They explained the storm area
originated in Siberia, “and moved
down the north Alaska route, the
Yukon valley and due south
through the Dakotas to Texas.
Along the Ohio valley it bumped
into the warm Gulf air and push
ed underneath.
These northern temperatures
ranged from 25 below at Bemidji,
Minn., to Chicago’s five above.
Rockford. 111., reported a minus 5
while at Alexandria, Minn., had
