In the evening of Feb. the 3rd the sheep were ravenous after their hay & before bed-time came a great flight of snow with wind. Sheep are desirous of filling their bellies against bad weather: & are by their voraciousness prognostic of that bad weather. They also frolic & gambol about at such seasons.
