The Storm of March Fourth.

The Storm OF March Fourth.
It is not usual to answer criticisms
of h forecasts of the Weather Blu
reau, but the hundreds OF press clip
pings that have been received since
March 4, containing adverse crfti-
cisms of the Bureau to al for
this statement from me.
Forecasts of the Weather Bureau
are before the public every day in the
year. In the past about one predic-
tion out of each ten failed to be veri-
fed, and it may re expected that the
same ratio of failure will be maintains
ed until meteorology can be made,
what it is o now, an exact science.
In the case of the storm that visited
Washington on the 4th of March, last,
the fact is that h disturbance began
here on the morning of THE 3rd, and
was accurately forecast h day be
fore. The Bureau anticipated that the
storm center would pass over tn Mid
die Atlantic States during the night
of the Bird, and that northwest winds
and failing temperatures would leave
a clear day for the 5th. The center
passed precisely as forecast, the wind
shifted and the Temperature fell, but
instead of the northwest wind clear
ing the sky as it does in nearly all
cases precipitation n the form of
snow occurred and continued for
twelve hours after the storm center
had passed Eastward. No ~forecaster
could see this. We're we to forecast a
fall of snow following the passage of
storm centers that move from the
northwest, we would have hundreds
of failures charged against us, instead
of an occasional one, for it is rare
that snow falls in the Middle Atlantic
States except with h approach of a
storm from the southwest, which caus-
es northwest winds, and 1t is extreme.
ly rare that any storm in this region
that begins with rain ends with snow
of any considerable amount. On the
contrary, many storms that begin
as SNOW n as rain.
The forecast in question was made
by one Of the most experienced fore
casters of the Bureau and was concur.
| red in by all of the forecaStars who
were conversant with the conditions,
and the same forecast would be made
to-day if similar conditions existed !,
