It turns partly to rain and hail at midday.
H. D. Thoreau, Journal, December 25, 1855
The first tree sparrows I have noticed in the yard. See December 27, 1857 ("A clear, pleasant day. Tree sparrows about the weeds in the yard."); December 28, 1853 ("I hear and see tree sparrows about the weeds in the garden. They seem to visit the gardens with the earliest snow."); December 29, 1853 ("All day a driving snow-storm. . . yet in midst of all I see a bird, probably a tree sparrow, partly blown, partly flying, over the house to alight in a field. ") See also A Book of the Seasons, by Henry Thoreau, the Tree Sparrow
It turns partly to rain and hail. See December 26, 1855 ("After snow, rain, and hail yesterday and last night, we have this morning quite a glaze, there being at last an inch or two of crusted snow on the ground, the most we have had."); See also January 21, 1855 ("The snow is turning to rain through a fine hail."); January 25, 1860 ("I will call the weather fair, if it does not threaten rain or snow or hail; foul, if it rains or snows or hails, or is so overcast that we expect one or the other from hour to hour. "); March 13, 1855 ("At evening the raw, overcast day concludes with snow and hail.”)
December 25. See A Book of the Seasons, by Henry Thoreau, December 25

out-of-doors, in its own locality.”
