NOTES ON NEW BRUNSWICK WEATHER FOR 1910. 
By D. Leavitt Hutchinson. 
January . — The weather was seasonable until the 19th, and 
although the snow-covering was extremely light, sleighing was 
fairly good during the hrst half of the month. From the 19th 
to the last day of the month, when somewhat colder conditions 
again set in, mild spring-like weather was general, river ice 
running and the buds on trees swelling. The ground was 
completely bare of snow in nearly all the southern parts of the 
Province at the close of the month. Moderate southwest gales 
on the 2nd and 6th, northwest on the 4th, south on the 19th, 
southeast on the 22nd, south to west on the 29th and 30th, the 
latter being accompanied by heavy rain, over two inches being 
recorded at St. John on the 29th. The highest temperature 55 
was recorded at Fredericton on the 22nd and the lowest 20 below 
zero at Fredericton on the 15th. 
February . — The remarkable mildness of the two preceding 
months continued throughout February. The only marked 
cold period being between the 24th and 26th when temperatures 
well below zero were fairly general. The snowfall, though not 
heavy, was in excess of December and January combined. A 
southeast to south gale with velocity of seventy-two miles an 
hour in the Bay of Fundy, and a moderate south to southwest 
gale on the 27th were the only important storms of the month. 
Owing to rainfall at the close of the month, the snow covering 
near the coast line was nearly gone, but in the interior and 
northern districts from 12 to 20 inches were reported. The 
sleighing was good throughout the month. Highest temperature 
46 at Grand Manan on the 21st. Lowest 26 below zero at St. 
Stephen on the 25th.
