Weather Synopsis-The recent storm was
first indicated upon the map on the morn
ing of Feb. 4, when it appeared as a slight
depression over the Texas coast. BY the
evening of Feb 4 the depression had
deepened to the extent of nearly two
tenths of an inchs and was centered over
NOrtneaSt Mexico. on the morning of
Feb. it was centered on the Mississippi
coast and had apparently deepened an
other tenth inch. By the evening of Feb.
it had deepened another two tenths of
an inch and was central near Pensacola
Its lowest pressure was then 20 % inches
This morning it was central over North
east Virginia, with a pressure of 29O0
inches. This evening it is centered over
New York city, with a pressure Of 2S70
inches. High winds accompanied its
transit from the Gulf. The highest five
minute average velocity at Savannah was
40 miles, at Atlanta AZ, at Charlotte "a, at
Norfolk Sc, at Wilmington As; at New
York, 6S and at Boston As. The extreme
velocity at each of these points was at
least to 10 miles greater than the five
minute maximum, and at New York must
have attained to very nearly the hurri-
cane velocity, which is 50 miles per hour
A secondary storm center is now over
Texas. An area of high pressure is over
the northwest. Rain has fallen over the
states from Georgia northeastward Light
snow has fallen over the northwest The
southern limit of freezing temperature
passes from the lower lakes southwest
ward to Southern Kansas. The coast
