Frost and Hail in winter is fomed by the
drops of rain passing through a cold strata of air. In summer
the vapor passes so high as to freeze the hail as it falls

size as it is often found in summers

Storms pass from west to east or from south
west to north east. The wind always blows towards a storm
from all directions, for this reason as storms pass the wind gets

If a forest is examined where they have
been blown down by the wind the tops will be found in the
directon which the storms came, that is, of those trees that fell
before the centre of the storm reached the wood, which the tops
of those that fell afterwards will be in a contrary direction
and upon the first

Fog is formed when the temperature of
the air is at the [illegible]. When such is the case there is great
probability of rain unless the fog is prevented from rising
by wind. Fog does not get out of the air but only
becomes invisible
