Wea. [Weather] Thursday 7 [February 7, 1901] Ther. [Thermometer]
+2 [degrees]
  Brilliantly clear with a full gale
of wind from the W. [West]. All day
long the air was filled with drifting
snow. It drove across the fields in 
long waving ribbons, in wreaths like
steam, in eddying or swiftly revolving
columns like those of dust or water spouts.
Some of the drifts near the house were
already 5 or 6 ft. [feet] deep. The wind
shakes the house & [and] rumbles like passing 
trains of cars in the chimneys.
  The sculptured snow in the fields was
exquisitely beautiful when I took a short
walk in the afternoon. 
[margin]The wind from 10 to 12 P.M. was frightful.[/margin]
