Extract

On the 26th of December last, about half-past 11 A.M., a light snow shower fell in Edinburgh, and lasted about half an hour. The air was at the time still, and the sky overcast with a thin haze, while the thermometer stood at many degrees below the freezing point. The appearance of the snow was very remarkable. It fell in loose open flakes, and lay upon the surrounding objects in little masses like tufts of exquisitely white, soft and light down.
