REMARKS 



The abnormally high temperature which characterized Feb- 

 ruary was prevalent to a considerable degree during March, and 

 in many respects most of the month was like early April. After 

 the first few days of the month the ground was free from snow 

 and the frost began to leave the ground. By the end of the 

 month practically all of the frost was out. The wind move- 

 ment was low for the time of year and only a few gales were 

 registered. The month closed with the season's advance fully 

 two weeks ahead of normal in many respects. 



The mean barometer was slighty higher than the normal 

 and the range of pressure rather small for March. There were 

 however several rather rapid changes in pressure. 



The mean hourly temperature was nearly five degrees higher 

 than the March normal and the maximum temperature was more 

 than ten degrees higher than the average for this feature, making 

 a very large range for the month. The range of temperature 

 on the 26th was nearly as large as some of the ranges for a 

 whole month. 



The mean dew point was more than four degrees higher than 

 the normal and the relative humidity comparatively high. 



The total precipitation was slighty more than the average 

 amount for March and practically all of it occurred as rain. It 

 was well distributed throughout the month. 



The wind was rather variable in direction although the 

 amount from the southwest quadrant was most pronounced. 



The percentage of sunshine was about the average value.
