~~Henry H. Harriman, "Weather Diaries"
[H.H. Harriman was a Warner, NH farmer, surveyor, estate lawyer and all-around voice of reason in a town riven by political and economic strife. He was the weatherman and kept daily diaries until his death from a broken heart in 1878 (but that's another story...told in our movie, "This Morning Broke Clear.")]
