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 13, 1856 ("Hear a warbling vireo"); 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.")
