>From the diary of Orville Wright:

November 19, 1903
Kitty Hawk, N.C.

On arising found ponds about camp frozen, also water in basin. Coldest nig
ht we have had so far. Gathered several logs of oak for firewood. Wind blo
wing 6 to 8 meters. Too cold for work.

"However we are entirely comfortable, and have no trouble keeping warm at
 nights. In additions to the classifications of last year, to wit, 1,2,3,
 and 4 blanket nights, we now have 5 blanket nights, and 5 blankets and 2
 quilts. Next comes 5 blankets, 2 quilts, & fire, & hot water jug. This is
 as far as we have got so far. Next comes the addition of sleeping without
 undressing, then shoes and hats, and finally overcoats. We intend to be
 comfortable when we are here." (Wilbur Wright to Bishop Milton Wright, No
v. 23, 1903.)
