simultaneously over the central valleys and in the
northwest. The cold wave developed within a few
hours over South Dakota, Nebraska and Iowa and
started on its way to the gulf and the south
east. The temperature fell about 80 to 40 de-
grees over the central Mississippi valley during
the night, and this morning it is below zero as
far south as the northern portion Of Arkansas.
Falling temperature was accompanied by
northerly gales and snow furries During to-
day and tonight 1t will freeze all over the states
OF Texas and Louisiana, and by tomorrow
morning the temperature will be below freez-
Ing probably % far sontheastward as northern
Florida. During Wednesday night will prob
ably freeze in the orange region

yesterday, and by tomorrow morning will prob
ably go down to s. The prospects are favora-
BILE for zero temperature in this city Wednesday

remarkable in many Of its features of any in
history Of the weather bureau. The prin-
cipal features Of the month being the very
extensive area Of exceedingly high pressure and
