A couple of inches of heavy snow blanketed the country side Monday morning, but as the temperature did not go down but a few degrees below freezing, there was no indication that a March cold spell was in the offing. The sunny days during the previous week caused most of the snow to disappear but now there will be another run of rivulets.
