Sunday, February 22, 1863
The Thirteenth New Hampshire passed their week at Fortress Monroe engaged in a regimen of drills. The weather was mainly clear yet cold until Saturday evening, when a severe snowstorm hit Newport News and deposited four inches of new snow. The Thirteenth remained in their barracks on Sunday and braced their quarters from the severity of the storm.1
