Clark: December 18, 1805
Alternating rain and snow fell through the night, with bursts of snow and hail continuing until noon, leaving the air cold and disagreeable under a hard, unsettled wind. Work on the huts continued but progressed slowly, since the men were thinly clothed and wore moccasins without socks, limiting what could be accomplished. Around noon the hail and snow stopped, and the latter part of the day turned cloudy with rain. Overall, it was described as a dreadful day at the camp.
