Six Inch Snow On
Luray Mountain
While a cold rain, much more than an April shower, beat down on most of Rappahannock Sunday evening and early Monday morning, Mother Nature was busy smearing a white frosting on the mountain tops. M. H. Brady of the Highway Department, reported a six inch snow fall on top of the Luray Mountain at Panorama, extending down to Beech Spring above Sperryville, where a couple of inches fell. Two department employees, Roy Atkins and Lee Atkins, both of Sperryvillfe, worked with a truck and scraper all night on the mountain, keeping the highway clear and passable. They began about 9 p.m. Sunday and remained until 4 a.m. Monday morning. The men declared they had never seen it snow much harder.
Along the edge of the road and guard rails, the wet heavy snow was banked two and three feet deep where the plow had piled it up.
Traffic was not hindered on the Front Royal Mountain, though, it was also snow covered and with the present low temperatures is remaining that way.
