Snow now drifting.
February 19.
Snow maybe near a foot deep, and now drifting.
H. D. Thoreau, Journal, February 19, 1860
See February 19, 1852 ("Everywhere snow, gathered into sloping drifts about the walls and fences . . . cold, unvaried snow, stretching mile after mile, and no place to sit."); February 19, 1856 (" I think if the drifts could be fairly measured it might be found to be seventeen or eighteen inches deep on a level. ")
