Lassen Reports Cold Weather
December 22nd, 1940

Susanville shivered under its coldest wave of the season yesterday and the day previous, the mercury hitting above zero Thursday and 10 on Wednesday, with little immediate prospect of a respite.

Piaute Creek and the level areas of Susan river were skating ponds yesterday, the ice forming an inch thick wherever there was no precipitable drop in the flow of water.

Some damage was done in the residential districts where frozen irrigation pipes burst.

No damage to crops was reported in any section of the county.
