REMARKS 



The weather during the month was generally seasonable, and 

 abnormal features were wanting. While the last half of the month 

 was somewhat colder than the first half there was but little zero 

 weather. On the other hand, there were only five days when the 

 mean hourly temperature was above the freezing point and these 

 were all during the first third of the month. More than one-half 

 the total precipitation was in the form of rain. While the snow- 

 fall was moderate, sleighing was possible during most of the 

 month. 



The records of the several weather elements show the following 

 as the more important features : The mean barometer was com- 

 paratively low for this season of the year and the range about 

 one-fifth of an inch less than usual. The fluctuations of pressure, 

 however, were larger than usual. The maximum and minimum 

 pressures for the month were both above the normals for these 

 features at this station. 



The maximum temperature was nearly four degrees lower than 

 usual and the minimum more than three degrees higher than 

 usual, giving a small range for the month. The mean hourly 

 temperature was 1.6 degrees lower than the normal. The tem- 

 perature was below zero on but two days of the month. 



The mean dewpoint was practically normal, while the relative 

 humidity was more than five points higher than the normal. The 

 total precipitation was slightly more than usual and was well dis- 

 tributed throughout the month. 



The total wind movement was less than normal, although there 

 were more gales than usual. Most of the gales were from the 

 northwest quadrant. 



The amount of sunshine was comparatively small, more than 

 half of the days being either cloudy or overcast.
