Thoreau writes in his journal:
Measure snow again, on account of what fell on 17th. West of railroad, 15+ + 2; east of railroad, 12 1/2- + 2; average of both, 14 + 2 =16; Trillium Wood, 18 1/2 +2 = 20 1/2. The great body of the last snow appears to have settled under the east side of the railroad. There are five and one half inches more in the wood than on the 12th . . .
