Midwinter snow

February 8. 

Commenced snowing last evening about 7 o’clock,—a fine, dry snow,—and this morning it is about six inches deep and still snows a little.

Continues to snow finely all day.

H. D. Thoreau, Journal, February 8, 1855

See February 9, 1855 ("A very fine and dry snow, about a foot deep on a level. . . . It snows finely all day, making about twice as much as we have had on the ground before this winter.")
