November 24.
At noon, after a drizzling forenoon, the weather suddenly changes to clear and wintry, freezing cold with strong wind from a northerly quarter. It seems like the beginning of winter.
Ice forms in my boat at 5 p. m., and what was mud in the street is fast becoming a rigid roughness.
H. D. Thoreau, Journal, November 24, 1853
“Ice forms in my boat. See November 24, 1855 ("Ice has frozen pretty thick in the bottom of my boat.”); December 2, 1854 ("Got up my boat and housed it, ice having formed about it.”)
