October 16, 1886:
From the Catskills: Snow fell thick and fast in parts of the Catskill Mountains this morning [October 16]. Near the Overlook Mountain House the storm was very severe, and the wind blew a hurricane, making travel difficult for man and beast. The air was very cold, and the few pedestrians to be seen on the road were muffled up as in mid winter.
