At midnight last
night it commenced to sleet & continued for about 12 hours then commenced
snowing in earnest & continued to snow hard untill near the middle of the
afternoon it abated with snow from 6 to 8 inches deep & the ground in a
perfect slush of mud & watter under the snow, & it continued snowing
moderately the ballance of the afternoon & night untill now 8½ Oc & yet
snowing with a fair prospect of continuing through the night I am suffering
with a severe pane in the small of my back but not to prevent me from duty
