Rain that fell across the campaign theater on Day One of the campaign slowed friend and foe alike. Only couriers, cavalry companies and units moving on turnpikes made good time. As day two of the campaign dawns, the rain has not ceased. The roads that were difficult on January 1st are no impassable as torrential downpours are causing flooding in the hollows and valleys.
Regiment baggage reached units, so men are in their sibley and wedge tents trying to stay dry. Movement is not only impractical, but dangerous. Only couriers and staff, scouts, and units on turnpikes will attempt to move.
