REMARKS. 



The weather during January was more abnormal than would appear 

 from the monthly means. The first half the month had but a single 

 day whose mean temperature was lower than the mean for the month, 

 while the last half had but two days with a mean temperature above 

 the mean for the month. Besides the temperature record the 

 barometric and precepitation records showed abnormal features. 



The mean pressure was nearly two-tenths of an inch above the 

 normal, and made a new high record for January at this station. 

 The daily maximum fell below 30 inches on but one date while the 

 daily minimum was above 30 inches on more than half the days. 

 While the fluctuations in pressure were quite pronounced the range 

 for the month was less than usual. 



The mean temperature was about a degree below the normal. 

 The maximum over four degress higher and the minimum nearly six- 

 teen degrees lower than usual giving a monthly range about twenty 

 degrees more than normal. The temperature fell below zero on seven 

 dates. The record of — 23.5 degrees on the 24th is the lowest since 

 the station was established excepting that of Jan. 5th, 1904 when 

 — 26 was reached. The mean hourly record for the 24th was — 8.0 

 degrees, compared with — 12.7 degrees on Jan. 5th, 1904. 



The total precipitation was about three-fourths the usual amount 

 and was fairly well distributed throughout the month. The snowfall 

 was sufficient to furnish sleighing more than half the month. 



The mean dew point was about 5 degrees lower than usual and 

 the relative humidity was about normal. 



The total wind movement was about normal although on six dates 

 the daily movement exceeded 300 miles. 



The amount of sunshine was nearly normal.
