XVII. Extract of a register of the barometer, thermometer, and rain, at Lyndon, in Rutland, 1780/1

Abstract

The ground was unusually dry the first half of January and want of water in some places. Inclined to frost, but bot fixed; one for a week was followed toward the end of the month by a smarter but shorter with a good deal of snow, and went away with rain and floods; then shower, and in February often stormy. The month of March was drier, generally fine, a good feed-time, and the middle of the month warm and growing; but cold N.E. winds at the end.
