minimum temperatures we're reported
from the regular stations of the weather
bureau on the same day: Bismarck, Al
below; Fort Buford, 46 below; Moor
head, 80 below; st. Vincent, 40 below.
From the 10th to the end of the month
the temperature was generally above
the normal, and, although there were
many days on which the wind
attained or exceeded q storm velocity
twenty-five miles an hour) the weather
was prin cipally open and fine.
Although the average precipitation
uring February was practically normal,
it was very unequally distributed over the
State. Over the western portion very
little precipitation occurred, while over
the eastern portion from n to two
inches fell, the regular station at Moor.
head, Mimi, reporting on fourtee
days .O1 of an inch or more. The amount
OF unmelted snow remaining on the
ground at the close Of the month aver
aged Is inches. Nearly all the stations
in the eastern counties Of the state re-
port from two to three feet Of snow still
on the ground. This condition will I'M
doubtedly prove Of great benefit to the
farming interests Of that section, while
an opposite result therefrom is being
felt in the western portion to the cattle
and sheep industries. In the southwest
ern quarter of the state there is practi-
cally no snow remaining on the ground,
thus affording good grazing, while in all
that section north and west Of Bismarck
the snow on the ground is still very
deep.
Many displays of parhelia we're gener-
orally observed during the month. That
on the I'd, as seen at the Bismarck sta
ton, was remarkably fine. A solar halo
of % degrees radius made it's appearance
shortly after 10 a. NJ, and at 1890 the
parhelic circle began to form, meeting IN
the extreme west and showing an anthe-
lion at 1O:4O.s Psrhelia we're visible at
regular intervals throughout the circle.
Above the solar halo there also appeared
q %semi.circle, with it's convex side to the
halo, exhibiting all the prismatlc colors.
The display continued about one hour.
