REMARKS 



The weather during the month was generally seasonable 

 although the advance of Spring was rather slow. A large wind 

 movement with numerous gales largely offset the heavy precipi- 

 tation so that conditions for farming were not far from normal. 

 The last part of the month was free from frost, and vegetation 

 made considerable progress. 



The mean barometer was rather low and the changes in 

 pressure not as marked as the large wind movement seemed to 

 warrant. The total range in pressure occurred however in but 

 little more than a day. 



The mean hourly temperature was two degrees lower than 

 usual and the range of temperature small for the time of year. 



The lowest temperature came on the morning of the 1st, and 

 the maximum very near the last of the month . 



The mean dew point and relative humidity were both below 

 their respective normals. 



The total precipitation was fifty per cent more than normal 

 and nearly all of it occurred during three well defined storms. 

 The first of these was a snowstorm on the lst-2nd which was the 

 largest snowfall so far this year ; The other two storms each 

 showed about one and one-half inches of rain. 



The total wind movement was nearly ten per cent more than 

 normal and on six days more than three hundred miles in twenty 

 four hours was registered. 



The amount of sunshine was very large and onl}^ three days 

 were classed as cloudy.
