REMARKS 



The weather during March was generally seasonable, and most of 

 the transition from winter to spring was effected. The snow dis- 

 appeared early in the month, and a light snowfall near the middle of 

 the month was quickly melted. At the close of the month the frost 

 was out of the ground in places, and some of the roads well settled. 



The mean barometer was well above the normal, and the maximum 

 and minimums both slightly lower than the average. 



The mean temperature was slightly higher than usual, and the 

 maximum about six degrees higher than the average of the March 

 maximums. The minimum was practically normal, giving a very 

 large range for the month. 



The mean dew point was nearly normal, and the relative humidity 

 about four per cent, greater than usual. 



The total precipitation was about seventy per cent, of the normal, 

 and but little of it occurred as snow. 



The total wind movement was above the average, but the gales 

 recorded were of only moderate intensity. 



The amount of bright sunshine recorded was considerably in ex- 

 cess of the average. 



A thunder storm occurred on the 15th, and a fine auroral display 

 on the night of the 26th.
