REMARKS 



The most interesting feature of the weather, from a meteoro- 

 logical standpoint, that was noted for the month, was the high 

 barometer on the 27th. This record of 31.00 inches was the 

 highest registered here since 1889, when the station was es- 

 tablished. The minimum temperature for the Winter, so far, 

 occurred at this time. The mean temperature, while higher than 

 that of the preceding month, was considerably below normal, 

 making the season, so far, one of marked severity. 



Sleighing continued throughout the month although it was 

 considerably impaired by a thaw near the close of the month. 



The records of the several weather elements, compared with 

 their respective normals show the following features of interest : 

 The mean pressure was very high and the range of pressure 

 unusually large, owing to the high barometer referred to above. 

 The total wind movement was less than usual although several 

 gales of moderate intensity were registered. 



The mean temperature was about two and one-half degrees 

 below the normal and the maximum and minimum temperatures 

 were both considerably lower than usual. The thermometer 

 registered below zero on five different dates. The coldest day, 

 the 27th, averaged but little above zero for the whole day. 



The 'mean dew point was nearly normal while the relative 

 humidity was very high. 



The total precipitation was about an inch less than usual 

 and nearly one-half occurred as snow. No storms of much 

 intensity were noted. 



The month was more cloudy than usual.
