REMARKS. 



The weather for February was especially noticeable for the disa- 

 greeable features presented. Rain and wind storms were prominent 

 and an unusual amount of cloudiness was noted. 



The mean barometer was about a tenth of an inch below the nor- 

 mal and an unusually large range was recorded. The range was the 

 more marked as the time between the minimum and maximum was 

 unusually short. The minimum occurred at 4 a. m. on the 25th 

 when the reduced reading was 28.86 inches. At 9 p. M. on the 27th 

 the reading was 30.73 inches, showing a rise of 1.87 inches in 65 

 hours. The minimum is one of the lowest records at this station. 

 The record of wind movement shows that on 8 days more than 240 

 miles was registered and on 3 days more than 400 miles was registered, 

 — unusual amounts for this locality. The total wind movement for 

 the month was only about 350 miles more than normal. 



The mean temperature for the month was nearly normal ; the 

 range about 4 degrees more than usual. 



The precipitation was over two and one-half times the normal 

 amount and most of it was rain. The storm of the i2th-i3thwas 

 one of the . heaviest in this locality for a number of years, three 

 inches of rain occurring in 24 hours. Falling on snow and frozen 

 ground the streams became quickly swollen and much damage was 

 done by the high water in the Connecticut river and its tributaries.
