KANSAS CITY REVIEW OF SCIENCE^ 



METEOROLOGY. 



REPORT FROM OBSERVATIONS TAKEN AT CENTRAL STATION, 

 WASHBURN COLLEGE, TOPEKA, KANSAS. 



BY PROF. J. T. LOVEWELL, DIRECTOR. 



The usual summary by decades is given below. 



The last ten days of February were somewhat tnilder than the second decade, 

 but it remained quite wintry through February, and the mean temperature was 

 only 20°. There have been no days, since February 20th, when the tempera- 

 ture fell below 10°, and since March ist the lowest temperature was 14°. Very 

 little rain or snow has fallen. The heaviest snowfall of the winter occurred Feb- 

 ruary 23d when about six inches fell. Northerly winds have been prevalent but 

 the total wind travel has been rather below the average at this season. 



Altogether the season is backward, and a cold, late spring seems likely to be 

 the sequel to a long severe winter.
