Rain was of frequent occurrence during the first part of this 

 month ; and throughout, the intervals were seldom illuminated 

 by the sun's rays, as will be evident from an inspection of the 

 adjoining columns, by which it appears that their mean is 

 scarcely a degree above that of the shade. The wind was from 

 warm points up to the 23d, when it shifted to the north for two 

 days, and then changing to the north-east, brought on, from that 

 quarter, the heaviest snow storm perhaps ever recorded at the same 

 period of the season. It was general over Britain, and was drifted 

 in some places to the depth of more than 30 feet. The obstruc- 

 tion to travelling was unprecedented since modern improvements 

 have rendered conveyance rapid and certain. The snow continued, 

 and occasionally received accessions, to the end of the month.
