The end of winter and beginning of spring was warmer in 1779 that in 1778; the end of spring and beginning of summer 1778 was hotter than 1779; the end of summer and autumn 1779 hotter than in 1778; but the winter 1779 was much colder than that after 1778. After the great storm of January 1. came all the frost there was this winter, which was not much; some broken frosts in the first nineteen days of January, after which there was scarce any at all.
