REMARKS. 



The weather during March was an agreeable contrast with that of 

 the preceding month. No zero weather occurred, the amount of 

 sunshine was large, the snow on the ground gradually disappeared 

 and when the month closed much of the frost had left the ground 

 and the roads were drying in many places. The last week of the 

 month was especially mild and pleasant. 



The mean barometer was slightly above the normal and the range 

 about the usual amount. The fluctuations were large and the mini- 

 mum record was coincident with the maximum wind pressure of the 

 month. The wind movement at that time was unusually large. 



The mean temperature was nearly two degrees above the normal ; 

 the maximum record of 79.5 degrees was 2.5 degrees higher than 

 any previous March record and nearly 20 degrees above the mean 

 of the March maximums at this station. The minimum was nearly 

 normal giving an extremely large range for the month. 



'Jlie mean dew point and relative humidity were both practically 

 normal. 



The total precipitation was very small being only about two-fifths 

 of the usual amount. It was well distributed throughout the month. 



The total wind movement was slightly more than usual and the 

 number of gales was small for March. The amount of cloudiness 

 was considerably less than usual. Sleighing for light sleighs con- 

 tinued until the 13th.
