Climate of Yuba and Sutter Counties Compared with the Eastern 

 and that of southern california. 



[From the "Marysville Appeal."] 



The climate, etc., of both Yuba and Sutter Counties, as well as of all 

 other portions of this great and prosperous State, have been written up so 

 fully and frequently of late that it is rather hard to produce anything that 

 will be new in the way of comparative meteorology. The mean monthly 

 average temperature for the counties named above, as deduced from obser- 

 vations of the railroad company for a number of years at Marysville, and 

 of Mr. Lumbard of Wheatland, as well as the record of Alvah Pendleton 

 of Nicolaus, will be compared with eastern points as obtained from the 

 Chief Signal Officer's annual report. By these comparisons we find the 

 mean average temperature of Yuba and Sutter Counties for December to 

 be equivalent to spring in Philadelphia; the Atlantic Coast of Virginia; 

 Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania; Columbus, Ohio; Keokuk, Iowa; and Arizona; 

 also Paris and Cannes, in France; and the same as December in Naples 

 and Rome, in Italy. 



For January the mean average temperature is equivalent to spring in 

 New York City, northern Ohio, central Iowa, and southern Colorado. 



For February the mean average temperature is equivalent to autumn in 

 Boston, Massachusetts; Albany, Buffalo, and Oswego, New York; Detroit, 

 Michigan; Chicago; central Iowa; Omaha, Nebraska; southern Colorado; 

 and Cannes, France. 



The mean average winter temperatures for Yuba and Sutter Counties 

 are equivalent to April in Philadelphia; the Atlantic Coast of Virginia 

 and northern Ohio; central Iowa; Omaha, Nebraska; and Paris, France; 

 and also equivalent to May in Rhode Island and the Upper Lake region, 

 and the eastern slope of the Rocky Mountains, north of Cheyenne, Wyom- 

 ing Territory. 



The average winter temperatures for Yuba and Sutter Counties are 

 higher than those of Naples, Mentone, San Remo, Rome, Pisa, Genoa, 

 Nice, and Florence, Italy; and Toulon, Marseilles, and Cannes, France. 



The average winter temperatures of the two counties above named, as 

 compared with places in the southern portion of the United States, are the 

 same as Montgomery, Alabama; Vicksburg, Mississippi; and warmer than 

 the winters in North Carolina; Augusta and Atlanta, Georgia; Shrevesport,
