Amherst weather records, 1835-[ongoing].

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/53378286

The Amherst Weather Records contain climatological data recorded by Professor Ebenezer Strong Snell (Class of 1822) and his daughter Sabra Snell from 1835 to 1902; observations recorded by the Hatch Experiment Station, Massachusetts Agricultural College from 1891 to 1924; and at Amherst College by Dr. Philip Ives (Class of 1932) and his son Donald Ives (Class of 1969), 1948 to date. Professor Snell's original ledgers contain his weather observations noted at least twice daily in the morning and the afternoon. These are among the earliest on record for Massachusetts. After Snell's death in 1876, his daughter carried on the work until 1902. Data from observations at the Hatch Experiment Station, Massachusetts Agricultural College, form part of the records of the National Weather Bureau station that operated there from 1889 to 1966. The collection of climatological data at Amherst College resumed in October 1948 primarily for educational purposes. This continues to date.
