An ex ami nation of this table shows that the temperature went below 

 freezing with remarkable frequency during this period. The most 

 severe cold weather occurred during February, when the temperature 

 averaged in degrees or more below normal throughoul the State of 

 Texas. The absolute minimum for this season at the five points 

 mentioned is recorded by the Weather Bureau as being 2 degrees 

 above zero at Dallas. At Calverl the minimum temperature was 10 

 degrees and at Victoria 20 degrees. In mosl of the localities there 

 was an excess of rainfall, so that the winter as a whole may be 

 characterized as having been unusually cold and wet.
