SNOW AND FLOODS
BAD WEATHER IN BRITAIN. AIR AND ROAD SERVICES DISLOCATED. (British Official Wireless.) RUGBY. January 25. The flood situation over southern England is likely to be aggravated by a heavy fall of snow which occurred last night. Snow continued to fall all day and turned to heavy rain this evening.
Visibility at Croydon airport was only 500 yards because of the snowstorm, and airliners were unable to land. Incoming services were cancelled or diverted, but the majority of outward services were maintained. Road traffic was severely dislocated over a large part of southern England.
