Weather Synopsis: The area Of high at.
mospheric pressure, which for several
days has been centered over the north
west, Is now over the lakes The storm
center, which has been over the New
England coast, is moving slowly toward
the northwest. Another storm center is
appearing along the middle Rocky noun
tain slope. 1t is doubtless caused in part
| by the low which has been over the
west gulf, and which Is now being forced
westward and 'northward by the high,
which extends southwark from the lakes.
The sky is completely overcast west of
the Mississippi Cloudiness also prevails
over Georgia and New England. Light
rain has fallen over Nebraska, Kansas,
Mississippi and the Texas coast. Light
snow has fallen over the upper lakes, and
is now falling at Boston. The Atlantic
coast winds from Wilmington northward
are nOrthwesterly. From Wilmington,
southwark, they are variable. The veloc-
tiles vary from light, along the South At
lantic, to high along the North Atlantic.
New York reports a maximum velocity
Of u miles; Philadelphia a maximum of
40; Hatteras, maximum of 40; Norfolk,
a maximum Of "a, and Boston a maxi
mum of 80. The line of freezing temper
ature passes from Baltimore westward to
