April Snow.

April 6. 

April 6, 2018

Last night a snow-storm, and this morning we find the ground covered again six or eight inches deep -- and drifted pretty badly beside. 

The conductor in the car, which have been detained more than an hour, says it is a dry snow up-country. Here it is very damp.

H. D. Thoreau, Journal, April 6, 1852

This morning we find the ground covered again six or eight inches deep -- and drifted. See  April 2, 1857 ("In the night it was very cold, with snow, which is now several inches deep."); April 13, 1852 ( "A driving snow - storm in the night and still raging; five or six inches deep on a level at 7 A. M. . . .Snowed all day, till the ground was covered eight inches deep."); April 15, 1854 ("Snow and snowing; four inches deep.”) See also note to April 2, 1861 ("A drifting snow-storm, perhaps a foot deep on an average.”)
