  Early morning sunny but hazy
with only a moderate breeze. At 
9.30 A.M. a heavy N.W. [Northwest] wind
started & blew through the day &
up to midnight at least.
  Walked again to the timber landing by
the river this morning taking my camera.
The wind began to blow hard before I could 
use it there but I exposed several plates
in the village & at the house.
In later P.M. the Doctor & I went over
the  Glen Woods trail on snow shoes.

+ 4 [degrees]

  Sun shining dimly through dense
haze. Wind blowing a living gale
from N.W. [Northwest]. The worst day of the whole
winter thus far.
  Spent most of the day writing. At 4 P.M.
walked to a little beyond Post Office.
The air was filled with driving snow
as sharp as sand torn by the wind
from the crusted fields. The elms along 
the stream bent like reeds & thin trunks
cracked like pistol shots. It was a 
wild afternoon as bad as any thing Dr G.
has ever known here.

  Partly cloudy with moderate N.W. [Northwest]
wind.
  Spent most of A.M. writing. Up
the wood road in P.M. (3.30-5) going
nearly to the cross roads. Saw a Blue Jay
(the first I have noted in deep woods) and
a small flock of chickadees. Met a boy
with a gun. He told me he had shot a
rabbit a few days previously. The wood
choppers have made sad havoc on Balsam 
Knoll & are still at work there.
The Doctor went to Portland this morning &
his sister-in-law started for Cleveland O.

working on the "Cambridge Birds" through
the forenoon.
