REMARKS. 



The weather during February proved to be the most seasonable of 

 the winter. A large amount of sunshine and a small precipitation 

 were the most noticeable features although the high mean barometer 

 was probably the most abnormal of the various records. 



A comparison of the records with those of previous years, shows 

 the following as the most important features : The mean barometer 

 was almost two-tenths of an inch above the normal and the maximum 

 almost equalled the highest record of this station. The minimum 

 was also very high giving a range considerably less than usual. 



The mean temperature was about normal although both the max- 

 imum and the minimum were higher than usual. The mean dew 

 point was more than two degrees lower than the average while the 

 relative humidity was normal. 



The total precipitation was about eighty per cent of the usual 

 amount and more than half of it occurred during a snow storm which 

 gradually turned to a fine hail, thus giving a large amount of water 

 when melted. 



The total wind movement was slightly less than the normal although 

 the daily record for the 28th was one of the largest ever recorded 

 here. The total for the month by the Draper anemometer was 4521 

 miles, which is but slightly smaller than the amount given by the 

 electric register.
