 REMARKS. 



The severe cold weather which began about the middle of January 

 continued throughout the whole of February. The month proved to 

 be the coldest February since the station was established and January 

 1904 is the only month on our records showing a lower mean tem- 

 perature. 



The mean temperature was more than seven degrees below the 

 normal. The maximum and minimum temperatures were both nearly 

 ten degrees lower than usual. The minimum was the lowest February 

 record excepting that of 1898. On nine dates the maximum was 

 above freezing and on nine dates the minimum was below zero. On 

 but two dates was the mean hourly record above 32 degrees. 



The mean baromerer was slightly higher than the normal. The 

 maximum and minimum were both high and the range was consider- 

 ably less than usual. 



The total wind movement was about ten per cent more than usual 

 and an unusually large amount was from northerly directions. The 

 record on the 3d of 529 miles is exceptional for this location. A 

 large number of gales were noted. 



The mean dew point was lower than any previous monthly record 

 of the station. The relative humidity was slightly above the normal. 



The total precipitation was about 60 per cent of the normal, nearly 

 all of it occurring as snow. 



The amount of sunshine recorded was more than for any previous 

 February.
