Very mild weather characterized the months of October and No- 

 vember. The first snow of any consequence was on the i 8th and 

 19th of December. January was the coldest month for fifty-one 

 years, the average temperature being 9.5 degrees lower than that of 

 any preceding January for that time. The first of February contin- 

 ued cold. On the 20th a thaw occurred which materially lessened 

 the amount of snow on the ground.
