REMARKS. 



The weather for April has been disagreeable and disappointing in 

 many respects, and the promise of an early spring given by the 

 March conditions has not been fully realized. Although the season 

 is still fully up to if not slightly ahead of normal conditions the 

 progress during the month has been noticeably small. The month 

 opened with a week of rather cold weather and a slight snowfall 

 soon appeared. Toward the latter part nf the month the wind move- 

 ment was large, the sky overcast most of the time and showers 

 numerous. 



The monthly record shows a low atmospheric pressure with a 

 small range of barometer. The mean temperature was about 3° 

 below the normal and the mean daily range unusually small. The 

 precipitation was about an inch above the average for this month. 

 While the total wind movement was above the average no gales of 

 especial severity were noted. The amount of sunshine was abnor- 

 mally small. 



Frost was observed on the morning of the 27th, but no especial 

 damage has been reported. Grass has shown considerable growth 

 during the month. Owing to the unfavorable weather the planting 

 of spring crops has not progressed very satisfactorily.
