SEVERE SNOWSTORMS AND COLD WAVE
North American Continent COMMUNICATIONS CUT OFF] IN CANADA By Telegraph.—Press Assn.—Copyright. (Received January 24, 5.5 p.m. ) New York, January 23. . The North American Continent is gripped in one of the most severe snowstorms and cold waves in history. Western Canada seems to be cut off from all communication with eastern Canada, save by radio, while Iroquois Falls, an Ontario paper-manufacturing town, reported a temperature of 73 degrees below zero. Snow is piled heavily on Atlantic seaboard towns, and New York City it under a foot of snow. The British Columbia mainland has suffered since Sunday, a Vancouver message states, heavy falls of snow and six inches of rain paralysing communications and railway services. Vancouver schools are closed. Vancouver Island was hit to a lesser extent. Numerous trains have stalled in snowdrifts 100 miles east of Vancouver since Monday.
