Here is a painting entitled St. Patrick's Day 1919, by Frederick Childe Hassam, an American Impressionist painter. One of his paintings hangs in the Oval Office. He lived in the New York area. You can see that Stanford's description of "wet" is accurate. Also, in Illinois there was a record amount of rainfall that day, according to historical weather reports. The painting can be seen on several websites.
