SPRING SMASHES WAY

Sun Aids in Defeat and Capture
of Snow and Icy
Legions,
8 O'clock Temperatures
on Winters Last Day

Spring, long awaited and sighed for,
Is ready for her triumphant advent today.
The entrance of spring, marked by the
passage of the sun northward across the
equator at the vernRl equinox. will occur
at 5:47 p. m. Thereafter winter will be
dead.
This mornings sunrise, tho last of this
winter, was forebodlng In spite of the
other propitious omens for good weather.
The sunrise was blazing red recalling to
mind that old saying:
Red at night sailors delight:
Red in tho morning. sailors warning.
The weather on winters last day began
rather promisingly for the new season. II
was not very cold, considering the past
rather frigid period. A temperature Of
% at six o'clock this morning was the
lowest the day could offer, and the mer-
curry at once began climbing when the
sun leaped up into the clear sky
resume of the winter that ends to-
day shows II to have been a rather prosaC
sort of winter, starting warm and ending
cold. BY the 1st of March an excess tenn
perature of 129 degrees had been accumu-
lated. but this was rapidly overcome in the
first 90 days of March (the last 20 days of
winter), when n deficiency Of 147 degrees
was piled up. This makes the mean tenn
perature for the winter only a small frac-
tion of a degree below normal, which is
3i.S degrees
Tive lowest for the winter was de-
grees, on February IA; the highest, 60
degrees, on January 27. There was one
exceedingly warm Spell" January 20
February 2, during which several records
were broken. The total precipitation was
1864 inches, deficiency Of 1.4O inches,
There were 1871 inches of snow, the nor
NAL being 1915 inches
The forecast for today is increasing
cloudlness late tonight, probably followed
by rain or snow tomorrow; slowly rising
temperature; gentle variable winds, be-
coming southwest.
