New York Weather Bureau. 297 



The observer at Perry City, Schuyler county, states that winter 

 wheat appeared in good condition at the end of the month. 



The severe cold wave which occurred in southeastern New 

 York on the 25th and 26th deserves special notice. The maxi- 

 mum temperature on both dates was not much lower in south- 

 eastern New York than elsewhere, but at night intense cold de- 

 veloped throughout a strip of territory about 30 miles in width, 

 and extending along the eastern portion of the State from Rens- 

 iselaer county to southwestern Connecticut, and beyond to central 

 Long Island. The minimum 20 degrees below zero, at Wap- 

 pingers Falls, was much the lowest temperature in the State on 

 the night of the 26th.
