REMARKS. 



The weather during October was seasonable and the departures 

 from the normals for the month generally small. The period from 

 the 8th to the 13th was marked by a large wind movement for this 

 locality, a scattered precipitation and but little sunshine. The last 

 week of the month was unusually cold excepting the last two days, 

 on the 27th and 28th the mean hourly temperature was almost to the 

 freezing point. On the mornings of the 27th and 29th thin ice was 

 formed in shallow places. No heavy frost was noted before the 

 middle of the month. 



A comparison of the records with those of previous years shows 

 the following features : The mean barometer was slightly below the 

 normal and the range about the usual amount. While the tiuctuations 

 of pressure were mostly small the chart record was more unsteady 

 than usual. 



The mean temperature was about one degree above the normal 

 while the maximum and minimum were the same amount lower than 

 usual. On the 29th a rise of 41 degrees in 8 hours occurred. The 

 mean due point was three degrees below the normal and the relative 

 humidity slightly higher than the normal. 



The total precipitation was about two-thirds the usual amount and 

 fairly well distributed throughout the month. On the 26th there were 

 slight snow flurries and on the 28th a light snow before morning. 



The total wind movement was about 20 per cent more than usual 

 yet but one gale of more than 35 miles per hour was recorded on the 

 pressure chart.
