REMARKS 



The weather during the month was considerably colder than 

 usual and the temperature below freezing nearly the whole 

 period. Only on two days, the 5th and 19th, was the average 

 temperature for the day above the freezing point. On the other 

 hand the mean temperature for the day was below ten de- 

 grees on seven days. Nearly all of the precipitation occurred 

 as snow and but little of it melted during the month. The last 

 decade of the month was marked by a very high barometer, 

 large wind movement and generally clear weather. 



The records of the several weather elements compared with 

 their respective normals show the following features of interest : 

 The mean barometer was abnormally high and the range of 

 pressure very large. The minimum pressure at midnight on the 

 11th of 28.92 inches was a very low record for this station. 



The mean temperature was nearly five degrees lower than 

 usual and about six degrees lower than the preceding month. 

 The maximum temperature was ten degrees below the normal 

 and the mimimum five degrees below the normal, giving a rather 

 small range. 



The mean dew-point was five degrees lower than usual and the 

 relative humidity practically normal. 



The total precipitation was less than one half the normal 

 amount and about one half of it occurred as a rather severe snow 

 storm on the 1 1th. 



The total wind movement was about ten per cent more than 

 normal as was rather persistant from the northwest quadrant. 

 There was very little wind from the southerly points of the com- 

 pass. An unusuahy heavy gale was registered on the 2 2d. 



The amount of sunshine was large and there were but few 

 cloudy days.
