Title:

First two weather maps (“April 1st 1843. 3 P.M.” and “April 2nd 1843. 3 P.M.”)

Description:

The principal phases of a storm at once. Provided here are the names and city/state locations of all of the “meteorological correspondents” who provided the data exhibited in Espy's charts. Shown here is the position and extent of a storm at a particular moment by the red figures, indicating the quantity of rain or snow that fell in it; the locality of the minimum barometer indicated by a red line, and its maximum by a black line; the direction and force of the wind, by arrows of different lengths; and by turning to the map of the next day, the change of position of the storm
