I shall have to do these years:
Snow began to fall in January and then "it froze most days & every
night till February 16 ... February 2 when the Ice was thickest I found
it 11.5 In. thick in a pond ... The Effects of this frost were many &
destructive...".

If you do then bear in mind that, the year bring prior to 1752, the
dates will be Old Style and you'll need to add about 11 days to convert
to New Style.

It will be nice to get back in the swing of things. Or how can I tell
it wasn't a negative NAO?

Anything on the database for hurricanes that year? Or large mag
earthquakes?

I suppose that the Admiralty might have records of hurricanes that
affected RN ships. I believe it was standard practice for naval vessels
to include weather info in their logs.
