WEATHER
2539 - H&G Jan. 3:2/3 - For some days past the south wind and mild atmosphere
have been truly springlike. No rain, and the warm sun has
already freed the river and canal from ice and the roads from frost.
Even offices are comfortable without fire. Such is the unusual temperature
of the season. (1)
2540 - H&G Jan. 18:2/4 - The weather is again mild as May. No ice, and
the frost entirely out of the ground. We understand a schooner is about
to be fitted out for Buffalo with produce. (1)
2541 - H&G Jan. 25:2/4 - During the past week we have had a little cold
weather, and yesterday morning some floating ice was seen in the lake for
the first time this winter. It disappeared during the day, and the weather
is again mi Id and spring-I ike.
There were several arrivals and departures of lake craft during the
week. The canal is closed by ice. The roads are very good and are improving.
(4)
2542 - H&G Jan. 31: 2/4 - The lake and river are fast bound with ice, and
they will probably remain so until spring. The roads are getting good.
In a few days our market will probably be better supplied with articles
of provisions from the country than it is at present. (verbatim) (1)
2543 - H&G Feb. 14:2/4 - For some days past we have had good, old fashioned
winter weather, and now have sufficient snow to make quite passable
sleighing. The roads are in fine order. We have no change to note in
the market. (verbatim) (1)
H&G Apr. 13:2/3 - See Diseases
2544 - H&G June 14: 2/3 - "It poured a torrent. t' We know of no apter description
of the deluge that has fallen from the clouds from 1/2 past
12 to 1/2 past 2 o'clock this afternoon. The breaking of a water spout
over our city could hardly have exceeded the flood of waters, as cloud
after cloud seemed to rest over, and dissolve upon us. The damage done
to gutters, the bank of the Lake, and the streets leading down the river
bank, is very considerable. Though the forenoon has been one of sultry
heat, some hail fell with the rain. (verbatim) (2)
