REMARKS. 



The weather for the month has been generally characteristic of 

 the season, and but few features are worthy of special note. 



The light precipitation and small amount of snow on the ground 

 were probably the most noticeable departures from usual conditions. 

 The precipitation was about 70 per cent, of the January normal and 

 but two inches of snow fell during the month. 



The mean barometer pressure was slightly above the normal for 

 January, and the fluctuations, while not especially rapid, were con- 

 siderable. The total wind movement was about ten per cent, above 

 the usual amount. 



The month opened with a storm and low temperature. The tem- 

 perature continued to fall until — 21.5° was reached on the morning 

 of the 2d. This is the lowest temperature observed here since this 

 station was established. On the 10th and 11th the temperature 

 again went below zero, and on the 30th zero was nearly reached. 

 The mean temperature for the month was however nearly normal. 



Sleighing began with the year and lasted during most of the time 

 until the 16th.

 be 54.25 in.
