the Thoreau Log.
19 January 1855. Concord, Mass.

Thoreau writes in his journal:

  I never saw the blue in the snow so bright as this damp, dark, stormy morning at 7 A.M., as I was coming down the railroad . . . At noon it is still a driving snow-storm, and a little flock of redpolls is busily picking the seeds of the pigweed, etc., in the garden . . .

  P.M.—The damp snow still drives from the northwest nearly horizontally over the fields, while I go with C. [William Ellery Channing] toward the Cliffs and Walden.

(Journal, 7:117-122)
