Extract

It was stated, that the first indication of the advent of these two storms to the British islands was given by the barometer. On the 25th and 26th November, the barometer in all parts of the United Kingdom began to sink; and it is important to observe, that, not only when this sinking began, but likewise for nearly two days after, the wind was blowing E. or NE., and was accompanied by a severe frost, circumstances which of themselves cause the mercurial column to rise.
