REMARKS. 



November proved to be a more pleasant month than usual for the 

 time of year. The more important departures from the normals were 

 of an agreeable rather than a disappointing nature. A small precip- 

 itation, large amount of clear weather and low temperature were the 

 more prominent characteristics. The large amount of wind from 

 the Northwest quadrant was also a prominent feature. 



Comparing the records for the month with the normals of this 

 station the following features are noted : The mean barometer was 

 slightly lower than the normal and the range was a little larger than 

 usual. The fluctuations of pressure were generally slow and of con- 

 siderable range. The total wind movement was about 80 per cent of 

 the normal and on but one date was the pressure recorded large 

 enough to indicate a gale. 



The mean temperature was about three degrees lower than the 

 normal ; the last third of the month being unusually cold. The max- 

 imum for the month was about ten degrees higher and minimum 

 about five degrees lower than the usual November records. The 

 range was nearly fifteen degrees more than the average and one of 

 the largest for any month during the past fifteen years. Owing to the 

 loss of the Draper chart containing the hourly temperatures from the 

 2istto the 24th inclusive, the mean tri-daily records for those dates 

 have been used in computing the mean hourly temperature. 



The total precipitation was but little more than one half the usual 

 amount, nearly all of it falling during the storm of the 16th- 17th. 

 Snow occurred on several dates but not in measurable amounts. At 

 the close of the month the ice on the ponds in this locality was sev- 

 eral inches thick.
