There is a sumptuous1 variety about the New England weather that compels the stranger’s admiration—and regret. The weather is always doing something there; always attending strictly2 to business; always getting up new designs and trying them on people to see how they will go. But it gets through more business in Spring than in any other season. In the Spring I have counted one hundred and thirty-six different kinds of weather inside of twenty-four hours.
…Probable nor’-east to sou’-west winds, varying to the southard and westard and eastard and points between; high and low barometer3, sweeping4 round from place to place; probable areas of rain, snow, hail, and drought, succeeded or preceded by earthquakes with thunder and lightning.
Excerpt5 :from speech at dinner of New England Society.
