Snow today, gone tomorrow

The history book “Down Cereal’s Memory Trails” recorded a raging blizzard in Cereal and area on the night of March 5. The storm continued for two days, causing the west bound train to become snowbound just east of Oyen for days. On March 20th the first train from the west came through, although no train from the east had arrived. Ronald Barrack and Goldy Smith are pictured pulling Goldy’s tractor when the snow finally melted in 1951.
