January 13

  • 1792: January 13, 1792 – Vast frost-work on the windows.
  • 1791: January 13, 1791 – The earth is glutted with water: rills break out at the foot of every little hill: my well is near half full.  The wind in the night blew down the rain-measurer.
  • 1790: January 13, 1790 – driving rain all day.
  • 1789: January 13, 1789 – Deep snow: snow drifted through every crevice.  Swift thaw.  Snow that had been driven in now melts & drips thro’ the garret-ceiling.
  • 1776: January 13, 1776 – The snow is drifted-up to the tops of gates, & the lanes are full.  Poultry do not stir-out of the hen-houses: they are amazed, & confounded in snow, & would soon perish.
