114 PHILOSOPHY OF STORMS. 



here was remarkably fine and warm, and continued so till 

 the 8th of April. 



I recollect, however, on the night of the 15th, and dur- 

 ing the forenoon of the 16th, a heavy damp snow fell to the 

 depth of several inches, accompanied with a strong wind. 

 I was riding down the Wabash in a direction a little south 

 of west, and I think the wind was blowing nearly in my 

 face. It might have been from a point 25 or 30 south of 

 west.

served by JOHN Low, Esq.) 



March 16th, got up before sunrise, found a rainy morn- 

 ing, which early in the day changed to snow, and was at- 

 tended with the severest storm felt here this season. The 

 snow, notwithstanding the dampness of the ground, fell 

 three or four inches deep. The storm continued till I went 

 to bed, at 8, P. M. ; wind from the N. N. W., the point from 

 which it blew all day. 



17th, left my bed at day-break, found it still cloudy, with 

 considerable wind. It was partially clear through the day, 

 and the wind came round to N. N. E. 



18th, at day-break, found it clear, but somewhat cold ; 

 moderated, became pleasant, and remained so all day, and 

 wind changed to E. S. E., quite calm.
