November 23rd was the median date of the first snow in Henry’s Journal. Compare November 23, 1857 (“In the evening heavy rain and some thunder and lightning, and rain in the night.”); November 23, 1852 ("It is, in some degree, warmer after the first snow has come and banked up the houses and filled the crevices in the roof.

This the first snow I have seen...")
