WV " AtlMAAs |
The first SHOWS of the season on the
eastern side of the country, which fell
on Sunday, we're rather a surprise
after the generally mild autumn. But
they we're not premature, and a com
parison Of dates at which the FIRST
SHOWS of former SEASONS occurred
shows that those Of this week do not
necessarily portend an early and cold
winter. 10 the November preceding
the memorably mild winter OF lS79-80
a storm OF rain or snow extended on
the 18th entirely over the lake region
aud still further to the northeastward.

month total snOwiallg exceeding 81.
teen lpshes at several places 10 this
State, and over seventeen inches in
New England. Our last winter, which
IA exceptionally wild wa slso pro
eeded 10 BoYelnber BY heavy snow on
the I'D in eastern Pennsylvania, in
western New York to the depth Of
eight TO twelve inches as early as tho
4th, and on the 18th snow covered
portions Of the mountains Of North
Carolina. The most ominQps iadica
Jon 1f az sbaermally cold winter is
the occurrence OF excessive barometrio
maxima in the West aud Northwest In
November. Thus, preceding the In
tenselI severe xiatst Of ibI0117, there
occurred on November n the very
extraordinary barometrio maximum
Of 309 inches IN Manitoba, ana pre-.
eediug the unusually eQld winter Of
9-sl lhsfe Was the exceptionally
high barometer, on November %. Of.
~ ~ inches in Ohio. TIE advance
Of such high pressgrs wayes over the
United ssatea in November clearly
indicates an unusual refrigeration Of
the northern parts Of this continent
aud tho northeastern parts OF Asia.
whence IA cold waves occasionally
cOine, aud hence their appearance
Signals the probable development Of
an exceptionally cold season In tho
lover attitudes. Hitherto, however.
We have this season no such intense
barometric msxima, the highest pres
sure reported by the Signal Service
the present month being about 90 20.
inches, and that rot extending over a
vide area Of the country. SO far.
therefore, es tho goasou has now devel-
oped, tho indications do not justify
tho fears Of some that vi arc to have
an excessively rigorous winter, but
rather tho contrary.
