REMARKS 



The weather during February was the most seasonable of the 

 winter, and departures from normal conditions were comparatively 

 unimportant. The barometer and wind movement records showed 

 some departure from mean values, but the effect on the weather as a 

 whole was not noticeable. 



Comparing the records with the several meteorological elements 

 with the 20 year summary of values for this station shows the follow- 

 ing features for the month. The mean barometer was considerably 

 higher than the normal, and the range was the smallest, with one 

 exception, for this month. This was due to the absence of marked 

 periods of low pressure during the month. The total wind move- 

 ment was considerably more than normal and mostly from the west- 

 erly points of the compass. 



The mean temperature was normal, although the minimum was 

 about 6 degrees above the normal value. Zero temperature was 

 noted on but a single date, and then only for a few hours. The 

 maximum temperature was but slightly above the average. A range 

 of 44 degrees in a single day was a rather unusual occurrence. 



The mean relative humidity was practically normal, while the 

 mean dew point was nearly two degrees below the average. 



The total precipitation was about two-thirds the normal, and nearly 

 all of it occurred as snow. Sleighing began on the 4th and con- 

 tinued until the 26th. 



The amount of cloudiness was in excess of the usual values.
