ten o'clock
The sun had shone for awhile , but about nine o'clock it went under a heavy cloud . Then it began to get slightly warmer , and Andy was certain that snow was coming . His prediction was fulfilled . By ten o'clock it was snowing furiously , and by eleven the ground was covered to the depth of half a foot . `` That settles it ; we ca n't make Scranton to-day , nor even Pittston , '' said Matt . `` We had better hunt up some sort of a house with a barn attached , where we can put up . '' But Andy was for continuing the journey , so onward they went , until at last , just before the noon hour , they found the road getting too heavy for Billy .
