...Canal froze solid. One day it cost $20,000 to clear the snow from Berlin's streets, a rare event, for special gangs of street sweepers rarely have to be employed in the German capital. But while storms and blizzards raged over all Europe last week, the greatest weather-made sensation broke on the Black...

For there are a great many days each year when there is no skating...
