News account from Washington, DC on February 13, 1899: "The fiercest blizzard in the history of this part of the country has laid hold of Washington. The city lies buried beneath three and four feet of drifted snow. In places, the depth is rapidly increasing... At 3 o'clock the raging elements displayed no sign of weariness, and the blizzard blows apace. The streets are deserted of all traffic save a few pedestrians and an occasional supply wagon. The street cars have gone back to their barns, and Washington yields itself to the caprice of snow, ice, and wind."
