The easterly winds predominate in the country to the northward of Great Slave Lake, as 

 appears on a reference to the Table ; and whilst they continue to blow, the weather is milder than 

 during -the westerly winds. In December and January, the coldest months, the latter prevailed. 

 The coldest, and I may add, the strongest, wind in every season in this country, is the NW. 

 The easterly, southerly, and westerly winds were almost invariably accompanied by clouds and 

 snow, especially the two former. The thermometer was generally lowest on clear nights, when 

 the sky was of a deep blue ; and the blue sky invariably appeared at Fort Enterprise, when the 

 temperature was below — 40°. A strong wind always raised the thermometer, though it blew 

 from the coldest quarter, and clouds, though unaccompanied by wind, had the same effect. 



During our residence in the country, we had many opportunities of confirming the remarks in 

 Captain Parry's Voyage, (page 143,) respecting the distance which sound is conveyed in intense 

 cold weather.
