Weather Synopsis-A storm center is To-
Gated in the Atlantic Off the Florida
coast 1t has as yet given but little evil
dence of energy, though the peculiar cloud
formations and their direction for past
two days suggested the presence of a
storm in that portion Of the Allan
tic though some considerable dis
lance off the coast It's eff
feet will doubtless be to draw the
area Of high pressure from the lakes to
this section and occasion a very decided
fall in temperature, together with brisk
northwest to northeast winds. The tenn
perature at Buffalo, n. Y, is now de-
grees below zero and snow has fallen over
the states from Washington and Cincin-
natl northward. Light rain has fallen
over Florida
The line of freezing temperature passes
from the mouth of the Chesapeake bay
to Memphis and thence northwestward to
Central Nebraska.
The coast winds are from north and
northwest. The velocities thus far along
the South Atlantic coast have been light
but from Hatteras northward the We
locities are twenty-five to thirty-six miles.
The maximum velocity at New York city
for past twelve hours was forty-eight
miles. William NJ. Dudley,
