A very cold northwest wind. I hear they had a snow-storm yesterday in Vermont.

H. D. Thoreau, Journal, May 11, 1857

Warbling vireo. See  May 11, 1860 ("Warbling vireo."); See also,  May 6, 1852 ("Hear the first warbling vireo this morning on the elms. This almost makes a summer. "); May 10, 1853 (“ New days, then, have come, ushered in by the warbling vireo, yellowbird, Maryland yellow-throat, and small pewee . . .  The warbling vireo cheers the elms with a strain for which they must have pined. "); May 29, 1855 ("the warbling vireo, with its smooth-flowing, continuous, one-barred, shorter strain, with methinks a dusky side-head ).

I hear they had a snow-storm yesterday in Vermont. See April 12, 1855 ("From the Cliff Hill the mountains are again thickly clad with snow, and, the wind being northwest, this coldness is accounted for. I hear it fell fourteen or fifteen inches deep in Vermont.")
