December 10.
Get in my boat, in the snow. The bottom is coated with a glaze.
H. D. Thoreau, Journal, December 10, 1859
Get in my boat, in the snow. See December 2, 1852 ("I do not remember when I have taken a sail or a row on the river in December before. We had to break the ice about the boat-house for some distance.");. December 5, 1853 ("Got my boat in. The river frozen over thinly in most places and whitened with snow, which was sprinkled on it this noon");. December 2, 1854 ("Got up my boat and housed it, ice having formed about it"); . December 8, 1855 ("Still no snow, — nor ice noticeable. I might have left my boat out till now. "); See also A Book of the Seasons: Boat in. Boat out.
