REMARKS 



The weather records for November show that, contrary to the 

 general opinion, the month was shghtly colder than usual. The 

 precipitation was large and more than the usual amount of snow 

 was recorded. The most noticeable feature, however, was the 

 large number of dark gloomy days and the great deficiency in 

 sunshine. Another unusual feature was the persistency in wind 

 from the northeast quadrant for about a week during the last 

 part of the month. Two decided low barometric readings were 

 noted on the 17th and 23d respectively. 



The records of the several weather elements show the following 

 interesting features: The mean barometer was unusually high 

 and the range was practically normal. Only eight days showed 

 a mean barometer lower than 30 inches. The total wind move- 

 ment was slightly less than the normal, and only a few days 

 showed a large wind movement. The direction of the wind was 

 more varied than usual. The only gales recorded were during 

 the two low barometer periods referred to above. 



The mean hourly temperature was more than one and a half 

 degrees below the normal, and the maximum was slightly lower 

 than usual. The minimum temperature was not as low as usual 

 and was registered before the middle of the month. 



The mean dew point and relative humidity were both com- 

 paratively low. 



The total precipitation was nearly fifty per cent above the 

 normal, and nearly one-half the total fell on one day. The snow 

 which fell was soon melted, so that the ground was bare when 

 the month closed. 



Two-thirds of the days were either cloudy or overcast, and the 

 amount of sunshine was very small.
