REMARKS 



The cold weather which was so pronounced during the first two 

 months of the year continued throughout March although with less 

 severity. The mean temperature was about that of a normal 

 December. 



The evidences of the beginning of the Spring season were al- 

 most entirely absent. The large amount of snow on the ground at 

 the beginning of the month gradually diminished and the sleighing 

 was practically about over by the last week of the month, after a 

 period of about one hundred days without a break. The last week 

 of the month was marked by some very high winds and low temper- 

 ature, nearly zero being recorded on the 29th. 



While the mean barometer was practically normal the range of 

 pressure was unusually large which resulted in a large wind move- 

 ment and very many gales, mostly from the northwest quadrant. 



The mean temperature was six degrees below the normal and 

 the range of temperature abnormally large. The minimum temper- 

 ature was nearly ten degrees lower than usual. The thermometer 

 recorded above 50 degrees on only three days of the month. 



The mean dew point was about six degrees below the normal 

 and the relative humidity practically normal. 



The total precipitation was about one-half the usual amount and 

 occurred mostly as small storms. It was well distributed throughout 

 the month. After the first third of the month there was very little 

 snow. 



The amount of sunshine was slightly more than the normal.
