Last Saturday q Snow Storm.-The snow
of last Saturday was only the fourth time in
the thirty eight years the Baltimore Weather
Bureau has been keeping records, that snow
has fallen in November. In addition, this
snow nearly broke the record, in that the ear
lest November snow that has fallen in the
past thirty. eight years occurred on November
18th, 1904. when depth of three inches was
recorded. Thus the snowfall last Saturday
was within a day of breaking the record. The
two other snowfalls in November, according
to the Weather Bureau records, were on No
vember Both, 1896 with depth of three inches,
and November 26th, 1898, when four and five
tenths inches fell.
According to an ancient law there will be
IA more snowstorms this winter. That is, the
venerable rule reads that upon whatever day
of the month the first snow of the winter falls,
there will be that many more SHOWS. Thus,
Maryland would seem to be booked for IA more
