Mineral Point tribune. (Mineral Point, Wis.) 1869-1938, 1888-12-13
A Weather Mamma cturer.

"Prof." G. c. Blake, of Topeka,
Kan, has cut out for us, so to speak,
our weather for the coming year.
He has issued an almanac which
contains tables showing the precip.
ltation liz rain and snow in inches.
These tables inform us that we are
to have wet January. The precip-
itation is placed at Asp inches for
Wisconsin, against an average for
many years of l.65. February is to be
a little more moist than the average,
but in March there is to be, accord
ing to Prof. Blake's figures, a pre-
cipitation of All inches, against an
average for many years of 2.lS
inches. Then April is to step in
with fearless eyes and humanity is
to walk dry shod; for Prof. Blake
allows precipitation Of only .84
inches against the average of $50.
The drought will continue through
out the year, with the exception of
November, when there will be double
the average rainfall--3.7S inches
against l.99. In May we are to
have only LOG inches Of moisture
against an average of $50; in June
1903 against the average of 4.49; in
July the average visitation of .9S
against the average of 4.37; in
August l.65 against the average Of
4.l2; in October lao against the
average of 2.67; and in December
only .S3 while the average is l.61.
The total rainfall of the year is to
be 24.l0 inches against the average
for many years of 1888 inches.
AS to the temperature, Prof. Blake
predicts a rather mild winter, fol-
lowed by very hot summer. Our
lowest thermometer is to be 20 de-
grees below zero in January, while
in February the mercury will not go
under degrees below. There is to
be no zero weather in March. The
maximum temperature of these
months is to be respectively, 35, ~
and II. In June the maximum tenn
perature ia to be So, in July 100, in
August 100, and in September IS.
These figures are away above the
average for many years.
The redeeming feature of Prof.
Blake's table is his promise of
mild winter; but nobody should
worry himself into illness over
coming drought or continuous
siroceo. Prof. Blake may prove a
relative Of Wiggins.
