Massachusetts Bay was 'frozen quite out to Sea...[and] the main channel in Boston harbor did not open till the first of March....There was also a great scarcity of provisions. Grain was never at a higher price, nor could it be readily had for money. Trade also suffered more than at any former period.' ...
