Akron, O. - Gust up to 45 miles an hour piled 10-feet-high snowdrifts throughout the Akron area overnight - paralyzing traffic, closing nearly all schools and creating general chaos. This auto, south of Akron, was one of hundreds abandoned after skidding into ditches. Countless residents walked to work, including Robert Nibert - a meteorologist at Akron-Canton Weather Bureau. He trudged five miles when his car stalled in a drift.
