Wed Apr 26 It has rained in showers all day, thundered some this evening.
Fri Apr 28 It continued to rain through the day and night, and was quite cold.
Sat Apr 29 It rained all the forenoon, but in the afternoon the clouds broke away and it looked as if it would clear off, pleasant, but towards night it came on to rain and blow hard and continued to all night and the freshet rose fast.
