REMARKS. 



The weather for March proved to be more pleasant than usual for 

 the time of year. Much sunshine and a small wind movement were 

 the most noticeable features producing the result. During the last 

 half of the month the transition from winter to spring was especially 

 rapid and when the month closed the season was fully as far 

 advanced as usual : all the snow in the valley was gone and the frost 

 was entirely out the ground in many places. 



The mean barometer for the month was unusually high and the 

 range less than any previous March record at this station. The 

 total wind movement was but little more than half the normal and 

 much less than for any previous year. Gales were recorded on but 

 three dates during the month. 



The mean temperature was about a degree below the normal. The 

 maximum was the highest ever recorded here for the month although 

 the record for 1903 nearly equaled it. The minimum was about 

 five degrees lower than usual giving a range for the month greater 

 than any monthly range ever before noted at this station. 

 The departure from the normal of the dew point and relative humid- 

 ity were both small. 



The total precipitation was about ten per cent less than usual and 

 fairly well distributed throughout the month. The hours of sun- 

 shine were about a third more than usual.
