Account from Washington, DC: "Street car traffic was paralyzed this morning [January 28]. Thousands of Government employees residing in outlying sections were compelled to walk because of the tie-up of street car service. They struggled through the knee-deep snow in armies, monopolizing the streets that had been swept somewhat by railway snow plows... The sidewalks were impassable. Street cars, unable to make the switches because of snow jams, in many instances jumped the tracks.
