Ther [Thermometer] Sunday, Mar. 12, 1916 [March 12, 1916] Wea [Weather]
Fine
Clear, calm, seasonally
cool, the snow thawing only
moderately at noontide.
For the most part it continues
to overlie the fields to a
depth of considerably more
than 12 inches and to afford
excellent sleighing in our city
streets. Hence the conditions
remain essentially wintry with
little or nothing visable [visible] or audible
to suggest the near approach of 
spring. Even the Flickers have
not begun to shout or drum.
  Because of a head cold which
developed yesterday & was rather
troublesome through last night I
did not go out, even to Museum,
to-day. Wrote letters in A.M.
Alice Allyn & Frank Manning
dined with C. [Caroline] & me. We had a
little Victrola music. Frank
stayed with me until 5 P.M.

Ther [Thermometer] Monday, Mar. 13, 1916 [March 13, 1916] Wea [Weather]
Fine
Clear, calm, mild. Heavy
thaw on, the snow settling
fast in fields, and flooding 
streets with slush through
which automobiles dashed at
full speed, scattering it on every
side. Those who were out of
doors in forenoon reported a
spring-like "feel" or quality to
the air.
  I was housed all day by
my cold which, however, seems
to be passing off to-night [tonight].
I read through forenoon &
was read to in afternoon
when I also amused myself
for an hour or more by the
unusual diversion of sitting
before the parlor window watching
"the passing" on Brattle Street.
The small boys were snow balling
each other & the pungs just as
we used to fifty years ago.
