REMARKS. 



The weather for January has been with but little exception good 

 winter weather, and presents a few features worthy of note. 



Although tlie range of the barometer has been about normal, a 

 number of rather rapid fluctuations of nearly an inch occurred during 

 the last third of the month. The mean temperature has been about 

 one degree below the normal for January, and the range somewhat 

 greater than usual. The minimum for the month ( — 15.5° F. on the 

 30th) is the lowest recorded here since this station was established 

 in 1889. 



The wind movement has been considerably less than the average 

 although several gales liave been recorded. The precipitation has 

 been about twice the usual amount and the snowfall very large. 



Sleighing for the season began on the 1st, and has been good 

 during the whole month with the exception of a single day. The 

 month closed with 15 inches of snow on the ground and snow falling 

 with every indication of a severe storm.
