! WEATHER MeMoRANDuMs the first
of December to the first of January the wea-
Their was exceedingly mild or very tempestu-
Gus throughout the country as far as we have
heard. During this period we have had three
tremendous hurricanes and snow storms, and
the snow on the East side of the Green Noun
feet deep, and four in some places on the
mountain. We have in this neighborhood on
ly about two feet, and fine sleighing. The
blows, though somewhat frightful in the coun-
, try, have been unattended with any very ser-
GUS disasters compared with those on the sea
board. The last storm and blow, Friday night
and Saturday forenoon, (thc 9th and 2sth
ulD was the hardest in this region of the three
Several barns and sheds were blown down
and chimnies blown of-part of the gable end
of brick dwelling house in this village was
blown down and for a short time the roof
was in great danger. The fences also exhibit
the marks of violent gale, where they are
not covered up with snow.
/ The last storm on the coast too, as it seems
from our exchange papers, in many places,
was unparalleled for the violence of the wind
The Gloucester, Mass. paper says, "the wind
blew perfect hurricane, and threatened to
sweep every thing before it. Houses were
almost made to tot,er from their very founda
tons, and the roar Of the sea and wind was
truly frightful." At Provincetown the gale
was awfuliy destructive. The loss of proper
ty is estimated at $4,000. Ten or twelve
stores near the wharves were demolished
and about twenty salt mills were blown down
The loss OF shipping in the larDor 100, is saIu
to be immense. We have no room to enum-
crate the number Of vessels stove to pieces and
lost. The storm on the coast commenced
with showing, and wind with rain.
The storm Of the eth and 2sth ut. it APP
pears from the Albany papers, was noless Sc
we're at the West than at the East A letter
from Auburn, written Sunday evening says :
"The storm commenccd-say Friday 6 p
NJ. from the east. The snow fell rapidly I'M
til morning, when the wind came fresh from
the north, which prevailed until Saturday eve
ming, when 1t shifted to west, and has prevail
ed to-day and evening without abatement, and
STILL appears no nearer lis close than when it
commenced.
/ The roads are now literally impossible, or
at all events, only with the greatest eXertion
and force.
From all the information have, am indu-
ced to believe that this storm is as severe
west and probably more severe, than cast OF
this place"
Postscript TO the Rochester Democrat, da-
ted IL l-2 O'Clock Monday morning
at has continued TO snow necessarily from
+ Friday evening, up to the present hour-belng
about So hours from the commencement of the
storm The SNOW we should Judge, is be-
tween 3 and 3 l-2 feet deep on a level. Dur
ing part Of the afternoon of yesterday, the
weather was quite bois,erous, as a consequence
of which the snow is badly dri(ted.
On Saturday the western mail via the Ridge
was l2 miles getting IL miles, where it
was obliged TO stop for the night
Only one mail, the eastern, left here yesier-
day, and though it was sent by four drivers,
each on horseback, they were compelled TO
return with it, after getting 5 miles out OF
town.
No man mas rccu received since o v'~l--i
Saturday morning. with the exception OF the
/ Genesee and the Mt. Morris.
We think we may safely say, that this is a
more severe snow storm than was ever before
known in this section OF tho country The
quantity of snow upon the ground, probably
exceeds by one half that which fell during the
great storm last winter.
The eastern mail on Saturday morning. az
ter getting out about half a mile, was Obliged
to return. Al o'clock p. NJ. the same mail
lel here, and was 6 hours in reaching Pits
ford, q distance Of 8 miles.
