Ther [Thermometer] Wednesday, Mar. 15, 1916 [March 15, 1916] Wea [Weather]
Snow Storm.
  Snowing almost ceaselessly and
at times heavily, from early morn to late night, adding at
least another foot of snow to
that left over from the recent
thaws which did not perhaps
exceed ten inches. This present
storm is, I think, the heaviest
snowfall of the winter. A
strong N.E. [northeast] wind has drifted
the snow badly in exposed
places.
  In Garden: Heard a Peabody
bird chirping near Museum.
Saw a few House Sparrows.
  A.C. Bent arrived about 10
A.M. to spend the day working
on my birds. I was with him
part of time but mostly at
work culling over the Purdie
collection. Alice Stone lunched
with us. We had Victrola music 
& reading in hall this evening.
