"Chronicles of Upper Burnet" (1)

1881

Sunday, February 27th.

It was raining when we awoke and kept at it till noon
when it turned to squalls of snow and the wind was occasion­
ally high We all staid quietly in the house or not far from it
waiting for the moving of the waters. It turned a good deal
colder before night

Teaching note; Wouldn't it be nice to just stay "holed up" until better weather. The farmers
lives were so intertwined with the weather.
