Diary of the Weather for February, 1817

by
weather report

This month from the beginning until the 20th has been very cold, with several severe days; from thence to the end it has greatly moderated. There have been few changes of the wind to the Southward, which has proved extremely distressing to the vessels on the coast, that have, without experiencing much variation had to work to windward loaded with ice; and have then usually found the harbour choked with it. The whole month has afforded good sleighing, and the frequent snows have renewed it advantageously. There is generally less frost in the gound than usual at this season.
