REMAKKS. 



Snow appeared ou the surrouudiug hills on the oth ; the ground 

 was frozen on the Gth for the first time ; the total snow fall was 4 1-2 

 inches but little remained ou the ground ai. the close of the month. 

 Several gales of wiud occurred, the greatest damage ijeiug done on 

 the lyth when Appletou Cabinet, at Amherst College was unroofed ; 

 also a part of the Levi Dickinson box factory ; considerable damage 

 was done in several other places along the Connecticut Valley. The 

 rainfall was above normal and the temperature about 1° below. 

 Both Washington and local forecasts were correct to l»6.6 per cent. 



The following summary is furnished by the New lingland Weather 

 Service : 



The weather for Massachusetts for the month of November was 

 iufluenced by the passage of uine cyclones and eight anticyclones. 

 Of the cyclones live passed easterly lo the north of Massachusetts, 

 two moved from south to north directly across the state, and two 

 passed up our eastern coast. Most of the areas of high and low 

 pressure were well marked and exerted a strong control on our 

 weather and temperature. A sharp fall of pressure occurred on the 

 10th and again ou the IGth with a correspondingly sharp rise on the 

 17th. Peculiar fluctuations occurred at 5 p. m. on the 10th and 

 between 6 and 8 r. m. of the J 8th. marking the central passage of 

 the C3"clones of tliose dates. 



The mean temperature at Boston was about 1°.5 below^ the normal 

 of the mouth. During the flrst half of the month the daily mean 

 fluctuated above and below the normal, but from the 14th to 19th 

 it was above, and from the 20th to the end of the mouth it was below. 

 High temperatures occurred on the sth, 17th \iud ISth, while the 

 minimum for the month was generally recorded on the 23d or 24th. 

 Neither the daily nor the monthly ranges were large. This small 

 range has been beneficial to grass and fall sown grains as the ground 

 has not been covered by snow. From a trace to three inches of snow 

 fell in some of the eastern counties on the oth, and about the same 

 amount in the western part of the state -on the 9th-10th but the 

 ground not being frozen in either case it quickly melted. From two 

 to six inches fell again ou the 29th-.)0th, and as the ground was well 

 frozen by the recent cold snap, it bids fair to remain for several days. 



The rain that was badly needed at the flrst of the month came in 

 copious quantities and the ground is now well filled. The fall on the 

 9th, 10th and IGth was very heavy. The storm of the 18th gave 

 extremely high winds in the Connecticut valley doing cousiderable 

 damage. 



The storm of the 29th-30th was the most severe of the season. 

 It came up our eastern coast and gave high northeasterly gales 

 doing considerable damage to shipping and coast property. At 8 p. 

 M. of the 29th the wind was blowing at the rate of 60 miles an hour 

 at Block Island.
