Wednesday was the 12th ight day with below zero tem- peratures and the temperature that morning went down to between 22 <nd 24 degrees below zero, depend- ing on where the thermometer was located. A Weather experts in this area pre- dict that because the snowfall has been so light this year the frost has gone down so far that it will take until June 1 to get all of it out of the ground. A Natural gas users in Wellsburg have one consolation during this cold weather in that they are get- ting a rate reduction from the Iowa Electric Light and Power Co., which will ease the blow somewhat in heating costs.
