Cloudy
Ther. 28^o MON. DEC. 12^th, 1898 Wind S.E.
Raw & chilly this morning & looks
and feels like snow. I went to the
store & P.O. and did the work at the
stable & c Edwd being at "Fairfield"
still. It commenced snowing
about 2. o'clk this afternoon and
continued up to bedtime but it
is rather "wet snow" sticking to
the trees & other objects, so that
it may not last long enough
to make sleighing, unless it
should grow colder. I went
to the store & P.O. again about
dusk, the snow then was about
3 inches deep.
