A WINTER OF SNO VS.

meteorological history as one OF much snow.
1t will take rank with the extremely snowy
winters and also with the unusually cold
winters.
This winter SHOWS began TO come early.
There were four SHOWS IN November. They
were not heavy, but they were accompa-
MED by cold snaps Of considerable rlgor.
In December there we're nine SHOWS, some
of them pretty heavy. January's contrlbu.

more, making total Of twenty nine SHOWS

1t sustains the usual March reputation the
winter may break the record In the number
of SHOWS.
Altogether, In the past four months 1t has
showed twenty-nine days. This exceeds by
five the average number OF days 1t has
showed In every winter during the past
thirty years, and, as has just been observed,
March lie yet TO come. To date there have
been fifty.hve days out Of the 1871 Of the four
winter months past In which the ground was
covered with snow. March may not con.
tribute much In the line OF staying sIows
DR.. Oliver Fassig, Of the local United States
weather bureau, places the average number
OF SHOWS for March at four. There may be
more than this number 10 the coming March
and there may be less, A great many OF the
March SHOWS are nurries, miniature bliz.
