Santa Fe daily New Mexican. [volume] (Santa Fe, N.M.) 1885-1897, 1893-03-24

From this It will appear that Santa Fs n
relatively warmer in winter and cooler In
summer than other places having nearly
the same annual temperature. Compare
the difference between the coolest month
and the warmest month for these places.
In Santa Fe the monthly range is 1913, in
Boston, 45.l; Albany, 494; Buffalo, 44.8;
Detroit, l4.6: Grand Haven, 43.7; NORTH
Platte, 1913: We find that Santa Fe has the
spring temperature of northern Illinois and
Indiana, the summer temperature Of north
ern Wisconsin and Michigan, the autuml
temperature Of Wisconsin and Michigan,
and the winter temperature of central
Illinois and Indiana. In other words, by
staying in Santa Fe, the invalid gets the
favorable summers that q resident Of Spring
field, Illinois, can get only by emigrating
annually to Lake Superior.
