This photo was taken on a cold day n January 2016 on the shore of the Potomac River close to the Grist Mill at Stratford Hall. Two entries from Philip Vickers Fithian Journal concerning cold weather.
Teusday 11._ January 1774 “The morning very cold--As cold I think, and the Frost seems to be as intense & powerful as I have ever known it either at Cohansie or at Princeton.”
Thursday 22._ September 1774 “A pure cold northerly wind still blows, & we all keep Fires--Peaches & Fruit are omitted at Dinners, & Soup or Broth is brought in; Milk and Hominy at Breakfast too are laid by & Coffee & Sage Tea brought in; Our Suppers are Coffee & Bred & butter--_Neatness_ _variety_ & _Plenty_ are reigning Characters in our worthy oconomist Mrs Carter. . . .”
