146. This storm continued to rage with violence in New 

 Hampshire and Maine, all night of the 15th, and even in- 

 creased in force on the morning of the 16th at Boston and 

 in the region south and west of Boston, where it continued 

 to snow most of the day. The centre of the storm seems 

 to have made but little progress towards the east, if, indeed, 

 the storm of 16th was not rather a renewal of the storm 

 nearly in the same locality, for it continued to snow over 

 almost the whole territory from the western part of New 

 York, to the eastern part of Maine. I have exhibited on 

 the following chart, the direction of the wind on the morn- 

 ing of the 16th.
