REMARKS 



The weather during the month presented a marked contrast to that 

 of a year ago, when such abnormally low temperature prevailed. 

 While the month was not as cold as usual it was not marked by any 

 especially warm periods. Zero weather was noted on two dates near 

 the middle of the month. 



The precipitation was much less than the normal. A rain storm fol- 

 lowed by about six inches of snow occurred the first part of the month. 

 The snow remained until a rather heavy rain storm on the 23d, which 

 was practically the last storm of the month. 



The record of the several weather elements compared with the 

 normals shows the following features of interest : The mean barom- 

 eter was rather low and the range of pressure less than usual. The 

 pressure during the last half of the month was considerably lower 

 than during the first half. The record for the month was during the 

 high barometer on the 1 2th. The maximum pressure was slightly 

 less than the normal and the minimum pressure was comparatively 

 high. 



The mean temperature was more than three degrees above the 

 normal, and the range a little greater than usual. The minimum 

 temperature was slightly lower than the average value for this 

 feature. 



The mean dew point and relative humidity were both higher than 

 usual. 



The total precipitation was about sixty per cent of the normal, and 

 comparatively little of it occurred as snow. 



The total wind movement was below the average, and but few 

 gales were noted. Much of the wind was from a westerly direction. 



The amount of sunshine was considerably greater than usual.
