The Great Snow Of 1614-15 - from Youlgreave Parish Register

The following notes are extracted from Notes and Queries, 4th Series, Vol 3, No 53, Jan 2, 1869 - p16. (cleaned up from OCR text from Google Books).  They were included, with many other historic weather references, in a recent book which I co-authered entitled "Sheffield's Weather" - available from the Sorby Natural History Society.  What follows adds a bit of context to the extract.
