REMARKS 



The weather for the month was less severe than that of Jan- 

 uary and in many respects more seasonable. The temperature 

 kept well above zero and the daily ranges were comparatively 

 small. The precipitation during the first part of the month was 

 very small. The first few days were very windy and numerous 

 gales were recorded on the pressure chart. Some of marked 

 severity. The total wind movement on the 4th, of more than 

 five hundred miles, is a very unusual record for this station. 



The records of the several weather elements show the follow- 

 ing features of interest: The mean barometer was practically 

 normal while the range of pressure was only about two-thirds of 

 the usual amount. The maximum barometer was unusually low 

 for the time of year. The wind direction was quite variable 

 with less than usual from the northwest quadrant. 



The mean temperature was about four degrees higher than 

 the normal and the minimum temperature was more than fifteen. 

 degrees higher than the average value for this record. Only four 

 days had an average temperature below twenty degrees. 



The mean dew point was very high and the relative humidity 

 about seven per cent more than normal. 



The total precipitation was about eighty per cent of the 

 normal. A moderate amount occurring as snow. Sleighing 

 continued through nearly the whole month. 



The amount of cloudiness was much greater than usual.
