REMARKS. 



The month was slightly cooler and wetter than the average in all 

 eastern sections. In the western part of the state it was cool for the 

 month but there was only about the average rain and snowfall. At 

 Boston it was cooler than usual up to the 11th; from the 11th to 

 22nd it was quite warm with the 15th, 16th and 17th the warmest 

 days for the month. After the 22nd it was cooler than normal with 

 the coldest day on the 29. The month was not cold enough to make 

 up for the former warmth and at this station the accumulated excess 

 for the year is oSl'* or 1.6° per day above the normal. 



The rainfall at Boston for the month was .82 inches greater than 

 the usual amount ; more than half the total amount came in the 

 storm of the 27th. The deficiency for the year at Boston amounts 

 to 9.74 inches. The snow came in full the usual amount over the 

 state and the ground is generally well covered throughout all the cold 

 weather, so that no field crops or roots have been injured to any ex- 

 tent. The springs and wells have not filled up and in eastern towns 

 there is some complaint (>f nearly dry wells. 



The weather was influenced by the passage of eight cyclones and 

 seven aulicyclones. The latter were generally wide spread and their 

 influence prevailed. The cyclones were most of them energetic and 

 moved rapidly. That which came up across Massachusetts from the 

 south on the 27tli was the most severe. It gave severe gales with 

 heavy snow and rain in the east and heavy snow in the center and 

 west. Considerable damage was done along the coast. 



At Amherst the temperature was slightly above normal and the 

 precipitation a little below the average.
