Wind S. all this storm
There was more snow last night but still falling quietly. Today was dull + calm with a few grains of snow off + on all day. Frost still holding + the snow lying on trees. There must be 7 or 8 inches now. After seeing a few town cases Willie1 motored me in the S.S.2 to Lilliesleaf + Shawburn + Mavisbank. Then I walked after tea to Curror Street, Raeburn Place, Bridgelands + Hosp. Only 1 case of Diph. now + 9 Scarlet. Influenza increasing, saw 12 cases today3. After dinner gave Baptie4 a hypo of Heroin. His temp. is still 101. Helen better5.
