WEATHER (Cont'd)
trodden down on the sidewalks, and just hard enough so it cannot be
thrown off without SOII1e trouble. It will be exactly the thing for us to
sl ip down and Clack our heads on in a few days; what more can we possibly
want?
The general rod-de-dow in the streets is like a miniature carnival.
Horses, fast and slow, are whizzing up and down the streets, dragging
sleighs and cutters, jumpers, and even drygoods boxes and demi-hogsheads,
anything teat could be put on runners. (5)
3948 - L Jan. 16:1/4 - The railroads in all directions have been very
much blocked with snow. The trains have, since the storm, been exceedingly
behind time. The storm appears to have been universal. It is a matter
that we have very frequently remarked, that three days after we hear of a
storm at Boston we are almost sure to have it here; but this time it seems
to have been snowing at Boston, Buffalo, Cleveland, and Chicago at the
same time. (1)
3949 - L Jan. 29; ed:2/1 - Yesterday snow was falling at the same time in
New York, Poughkeepsie, Troy, Utica, Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, and Cleveland.
We have reason to believe that the same storm extended over New England
and most of the northwest. (1)
3950 - L Feb. 18: 1/4 - There was a heavy fall of snow on Feb. 16, with the
wind from the southwest. Yesterday the thermometer stood around zero.

3951 - L July 1: 1/5 - The Library association's sign was blown down and
broken in a gale on the afternoon of June 30. (1)
3952 - L July 19: 1/5 The man who does not find variety enough in our
latitude would he hard to please. Yesterday at 2:30 p. m. it was 96 in
the shade. Taken into connection with the exceedingly cold weather last
winter this affords fair example that "action and reaction are always equal."
3953 - L July 23: 1/5 - The coolness of the weather during the last few
days has been in agreeable contrast with the heated days of last week.
3954 - L Oct. 2:3/2 - The weather gave symptons of approaching winter In
the shape of a snow storm beginning rather early yesterday morning.
(1)
3955 - L Oct. 31:3/2 - The cold bleak winds of yesterday seemed to he heralding
the near approach of winter. Towards evening overcoats were hardly
a sufficient protection from the piercing lake winds. (1)
