January 12

Posted by sydney on Jan 12th, 2009
  • 1793: January 12, 1793 – Vast rain in the night, lightening.  Great stream in the cart-way.
  • 1791: January 12, 1791 – Mr Churton left us.
  • 1790: January 12, 1790 – Snow-drops blow.  We have in the window of the stair-case a flower-pot with seven sorts of flowers, very sweet & fragrant.
  • 1789: January 12, 1789 – Thermr 8; at South Lambeth 2 1/2.  This frost, as frosts usually do, went-off soon after the Thermr was at the lowest.
  • 1780: January 12, 1780 – For want of snow to cover, the garden-things suffer; cabbages, spinage, celeri, &c.
  • 1776: January 12, 1776 – A very deep snow.  Poor birds begin to be distress’d, & to come in a door: hares do not stir yet.  Hares lie-by at first, ’til compelled to beat-out by hunger.
