Weather Synopsis-The storm center
which was noted last night as being off
the Florida coast, has moved slowly north
ward and is now centered near the lati-
tude Of Jacksonville, but some distance out
in the Atlantic. Being of the nature of a
partial vacuum, il served to draw the
cold, dense air of the north over this
section and has been very largely the
cause of what will doubtless prove the
coolest weather of the year. Snow has
fallen in light hurries from the Carolinas
northward.
The winds along the coast have been
quite high. Maximum velocities were re-
corded follows: Hatteras, As; Norfolk
p; Wilmington, Is; Savannah, "A; New
York, "a.
As the South Atlantic storm center
moves northward the winds will change
to west and blow from a warmer region.
A ridge Of high pressure extends from
Ontario to Mexico. An area of high pres
sure is also approaching from Colorado. A
storm center is located north of Mime
sofa, and has caused light snow over the
upper Mississippi valley and Northern
Michigan.
The line of freezing temperature passes
from Southern Georgia to Montgomery,
Ala. and thence northwestward to South
Dakota. VIM. NJ Dudley.
