The Recent Deep Snow in Massachusetts: street in New Bedford, [USA], 1857. 'Not for twenty-five years has this part of the country been visited (and the telegraph - our only communication from a distance - sends us similar accounts) by so heavy a snowstorm: a fall of snow, accompanied by a violent wind, drifting the snow so as to cut off all railway communication, and entirely to impede the business of the city, all the shops being closed and the only business doing being what is called "breaking-out" and " making tracks." The New Bedford Evening Standard informs us that the superintendent of streets has employed a large force, and communication will soon be reopened between different portions of the city. That well-known individual, the "oldest inhabitant," confidentially informs us that the late storm "beats all".' From "Illustrated London News", 1857.
