From The Times, 08 Jun 1809, posted with permission of the transcriber, Petra Michinson. Geo. The weather has been uncommonly variable during the last fortnight, particularly in the North of England. Sunday se'nnight was as warm as at Midsummer; and the day following, it was as cold as at Christmas; and the Tuesday there was a heavy fall of snow, so much so, that on Thursday last it was eighteen inches deep on the open road, on Shap Fells, in Cumberland.
