REMARKS. 



The weather for the month has been unusually agreeable for this 

 season of the year, and has pleasantly surprised those anticipating 

 the usual March conditions. The equinoctial period passed without 

 any of the storms which often occur at that time. The change from 

 winter to spring while gradual has been none the less complete, and 

 the month closed with the season some weeks in advance of ordinary 

 conditions. 



Comparisons of some of the weather elements prevailing during 

 the month with the normal conditions for the same period show the 

 following characteristics worthy of note. The mean atmospheric 

 pressure has been nearly a quarter of an inch above the normal, the 

 last week of the month especially having a very high barometer. 

 The mean temperature has been about five degrees above the aver- 

 age and the mean dew point also rather high. The relative humidity 

 has been slightly below the normal and the precipitation about one- 

 half the usual amount. Hut very little snow fell. The wind move- 

 ment has been slightly more than three-fourths the average amount, 

 but few gales occurring, and those were of no great severity. The 

 percentage of sunshine has been a little above the average. 



Most of the show disappeared rather early in the month and the 

 frost left the ground soon after. 



The roads in most places are already dry and the spring repairs 

 have begun. Some ploughing has already been done on the higher 

 ground and all but unusually wet places will be in condition for 

 working shortly, unless April weather should prove especially 

 stormy.
