Abstract
IT is usual to estimate cold by minima of temperature. But we may also consider it as expressed in maxima. A day may fairly be called “very cold” in which the maximum is not over freezing point. I propose to offer some account of the occurrence of such days at Greenwich in the fifty winter seasons (November to March) 1844–5 to 1893–4. (For brevity, I will designate each winter by the year in which it begins.)
