February 6.
To Cambridge. A rainy day.
H. D. Thoreau, Journal, February 6, 1860
Compare February 6, 1855 ("The coldest morning this winter. Our thermometer stands at -14° at 9 A.M . . .At 9 o’clock P.M., thermometer at -16°. They say it did not rise above -6° to-day"); February 7, 1856 ("Begins to snow at 8 A.M.; turns to rain at noon, and clears off, or rather ceased raining, at night, with some glaze on the trees. This the first thawing, though slight, since the 25th of December.")
