The weather at this station since February 20th, when the above report closed, 

 has been much warmer, and yet there have been but three days when the freez- 

 ing temperature was not reached. The rainfall has been light but the first de- 

 cade was very muddy, owing to previous rains and depth of frost. 



On the north side of a building, twenty feet distant, there was frost in the 

 ground as late as March 20th. There has been no weather thus far to favor the 

 premature putting forth of fruit buds, and altogether the season is much more 

 backward than usual. In addition to the usual report by decades the following 

 items are given : 



Highest temperature, 74°, on March 14th. Lowest temperature, 9°, on 

 March 19th.
