REMARKS 



The seasonal progress, which was considerably ahead of the nor- 

 mal when the month began, has not been maintained during the 

 month, and at its close conditions were nearly normal. The cold 

 period near the end of the month checked early growth and did some 

 damage to fruit buds in this vicinity. The high wind and low hu- 

 midity which accompanied the low temperature materially benefited 

 conditions. 



The precipitation during the last part of the month was very light. 



The records of the various weather elements compared with their 

 normals show the following features of interest : The mean barome- 

 ter was slightly above the normal and the range about two-thirds 

 the usual amount. Notwithstanding the small range of pressure the 

 total wind movement was practically normal. The interval between 

 the high and low barometers of the month was less than four 

 days. During the last half of the month the wind was from the 

 northwest quadrant most of the time. 



The mean temperature was slightly lower than the normal and the 

 range less than usual. The maximum temperature wus about five 

 degrees lower than usual. The minimum temperature came early in 

 the month, and was more than three degrees lower than the normal 

 for this feature. 



The mean dewpoint and relative humidity were both nearly nor- 

 mal. 



The total precipitation was about four-fifths of the normal, and 

 more than one-half of it occurred during a single storm. A trace of 

 snow was noted on the 25th, and high ground visible from this sta- 

 tion was white with snow. 



The amount of bright sunshine was considerably more than usual, 

 and the number of cloudy days small.
