Evidence

When I ran to the house, not a mountain or anything else could be seen, and the snow on one side was drifted higher than the roof. The air, as high as one could see, was one white, stinging smoke of snow-drifta terrific sight. In the living room, the snow was driving through the chinks, and Mrs. Dewy was shoveling it from the floor. — Isabella L. Bird, A Lady’s Life in the Rocky Mountains, 152
