Hi list, >From the Danville, VT, "North Star" of 15 June, 1816 "Some account was given .... of the unparalleled severity of the weather. It continued, without any essential amelioration, from the 6th to the 10th instant - freezing as hard five nights in succession as it usually does in December. On the night of the 6th, water froze an inch thick - and on the night of the 7th and of the 8th, a kind of sleet or exceeding cold snow fell, attended with high wind, which measured in places where it drifted, 18 to 20 inches in depth. Saturday morning the weather was more severe than it generally is during the storm of winter". Source: David M.
