1890.
SIGNAL OFFicE WAR DEPARTMENT. |
WASHINGTON CITY, Marsh 1, 80

SIGNAL OFFicE WAR DEPARTMENT.,
WASHINGTON CITY, Marsh l, 80
The month of February has been warmer
than usual east of the Rocky mountains, ex-
cept in Montana and western Dakota, the
excess of the monthly mean temperature
ranging rrom degrees to s degrees over
the entire country east Of the Mississippi,
and in the southwest. 1t has been slightly
cooler than usual on the Pacific coast, and
from degrees to 10 degrees colder in Mon
tana and northwestern Dakota. Although
the mean temperature OF the month was
generally above the nermal over the eastern
half Of the country, the month closed with
one OF the coolest days of the season over
the greater portion of the winter wheat re-
gion and the gulf states. The freezing
weather which prevails this morning over
this region, taken in connection with the
advanced condition of vegetation, may re-
suit in some injury to crops, and especially
to fruit. Ample notice was given in the
threatened districts of the approach of this
cold wave, and frost warnings were issued
to localities in the southern states where
growing crops were likely to be injured.
As in previous months, the number of
cold waves of general extent and marked
intensity have been limited, only two hav-
ing occurred, while five of lesser extent and
severity have been reported.
There has been an excess of rainfeh in the
Ohio and central Mississippi valleys, the
lower lake region, and in the interior OF the
middle Atlantic states. Rainfall also con-
tinues in excess in northern and central
California, Oregon and Washington. The
heavy rains in the valley of the Ohio
and its tributaries haye been attended by
destructive floods, and the water in the
lower Ohio and Mississippi rivers has prob
this date.
There has been less rain than usual
throughout the south Atlantic and gulf
states and generally throughout the north
west and southern New England.
The ground was covered with tnow at the
close of the month in Wisconsin, northern
Illinois, northern Indiana, Iowa. Minnesota.
| Dakota, Montana, northern Nebraska and
northwestern Missouri. the depth ranging
from 3s inches at Marquette. and 30 inches
at Green Bay to inches over Minnesota
and Dakota, inches over Iowa, and from
to inches over the remaining portion Of
| the area. There was no snow on the ground
in the states on the Atlantic coast. except
in northern Maine. and the ground was also
generally bare in the states of the Ohie
| valley. A. w. GREELY,
Chief Signal Officer
