REMARKS 



The weather during the month was seasonal and the transition 

 from Winter to Spring fairly completed. The snow disappeared 

 early in the month and the frost gradually left the ground so that in 

 places it was entirely out of the ground when the month closed. The 

 last third of the month was like early April weather. A fairly heavy 

 snowfall occurred on the 30th so that the ground was covered with 

 snow when the month closed. 



The records of the several weather elements show the following 

 features of interest : The mean barometer was rather high and the 

 range of pressure practically normal. The rapid fall in pressure on 

 the 7th with a rather severe wind and rain storm was followed by an 

 equally rapid rise in pressure the next day, so that normal conditions 

 were quickly restored. The maximum and minimum pressures were 

 practically normal. The total wind movement was about ten per 

 cent less than usual and only a few gales were recorded. 



The mean temperature was practically normal but the maximum 

 temperature was about ten degrees higher than usual giving a very 

 large range for the month. The minimum temperature was about 

 the average value and came very early in the month. 



The mean dew-point and the relative humidity were both slightly 

 higher than usual. 



The total precipitation was about thirty per cent more than 

 usual, due to several rather heavy storms. A moderate thunder- 

 storm occurred on the night of the 29th and early morning of the 30th. 

 A rather heavy rain was in progress and was just turning into a 

 snowstorm as the month closed. 



The sunshine record was nearly normal.
