- 1783: December 29, 1783 – Carryed some savoy-heads, endive, & celeri into the cellar: the potatoes have been there some days. Red breasts die. Ground covered with ice & snow.
- 1780: December 29, 1780 – Snow totally gone.
- 1770: December 29, 1770 – Wrens whistle all the winter except in severe frost. Wrens whistle much more than any English bird in a wild state. The redbreast sings great part of the year; but at intervals is silent. This year concludes with a very wet season, which has lasted from the middle of Octr last, & has occasioned vast floods, & desolation both at home & abroad. Much wheat-land in wet countries remains unsown.
