March 26, 1847
Greatest snowstorm of mid-century: 30 inches by actual measurement at Barnard; 17" at Burlington in driving storm; roads badly drifted, blocked for two days; barometer at 28.73" on 27th; 22" snow at Lunenburg, which remained throughout April.
NOTE: Ludlum's 17" at Burlington derives from historical records that go back further than the official National Weather Service snow records, which began in 1906.
