Nov. 5
Concord, Massachusetts.
Mass.
Concord.  The first snowstorm. It began about
daybreak, ceased from 9 to 10 a.m. and beginning
again at the latter hour snowed very hard and
steadily until about 2 p.m. after which the sky
cleared and the sun came out. Probably four
inches fell in all for at least two inches remained 
on the ground at sunset. The wind was strong from
the N. W. all day.
  To Ball's Hill at 9.30 a.m. walking and
to Holden's & sending the horse back to town I
spent some time in Holden's woods following the
boundary lines when the storm returning hurried
me on to my cabin where I cooked & ate dinner.
I kept looking out watching the rim in the
hope of seeing Geese or at least Ducks but
none appeared. In fact I saw nothing except
a Tree Sparrow & Chickadee & heard only a Jay
and some Crows.
  When the sun came out the woods were
very beautiful for the damp snow clung to
every twig & leaf and was plastered against the
trunks when the wind had had full sweep
giving distant trees of all kinds the appearance of birches.
  The country had a very wintry aspect at
sunset and icicles hung from the eaves
of the houses & barns.
