Winter landscape with horse and sleigh, ca. 1860
 
"If the balance of the northern world can produce similar fine weather, and equally glorious sleighing, as the inhabitants of P.E. Island have enjoyed thus far, we should be pleased to hear of it. No severe storms have yet been experienced. . . . no rude wintry blasts disturbing the quiet alighting of the beautiful and tiny flakes, nor sweeping them madly hither and thither, blocking up streets, and doors and windows."
- Ross's Weekly, Thursday, 28 January 1864.
