REMARKS. 
The admeasurements were made, in every instance, 
immediately after the storms, and in situations where the 
snow had not been affected by winds; and the above 
table exhibits the depth of snow, on an average, in the vi- 
cinity. ‘The greatest depth, during the winter, was on the 
16th of December, which was 33 inches. 
There was rain on twelve days, within the months of 
December, January, and February ; but the quantity I did 
not ascertain. It was, however, very considerable.
