Day 4 - Snow in the north

On day four of the campaign, any troops north of the B & O experienced the first snow fall of 1862* as snow fell along the Upper Potomac. Although temperatures dropped, the Valley experienced some light rain, with skies clearing by the evening.

A Federal column just southeast of the confluence of the Middle Fork and South Fork of Sleepy Creek was stalled in the mud on January 2nd and 3rd and was under observation by Confederate cavalry to the south throughout January 4th.
