Another snowy winter.

February 24. 

Dr. Jarvis tells me that he thinks there was as much snow as this in ’35, when he lived in the Parkman house and drove in his sleigh from November 23d to March 30th excepting one day.

H. D. Thoreau, Journal, February 24, 1856

as much snow as this... See February 12, 1856 ("From January 6th to January 13th, not less than a foot of snow on a level in open land, and from January 13th to February 7th, not less than sixteen inches on a level at any one time in open land, and still there is fourteen on a level. That is, for twenty-five days the snow was sixteen inches deep in open land!!”); February 19, 1856 ("the snow has been deeper since the 17th than before this winter. I think if the drifts could be fairly measured it might be found to be seventeen or eighteen inches deep on a level.”)
