Cold Last Year

March, April, May and sometimes
June have been cold and unpleasant
in past years. Perhaps this season
spring will come early as it used
to when father was a boy, was the
hope uppermost in the minds OF
winter-weary Bluffton this week.
There are evidences to support
this belief, for in March 1921, mild
winter tapered off into summer
weather. The average temperature
for the month that year was 49.9,
the warmest on record. This con-
trasts with the coldest March, IN
1885, which averaged 29.1 degrees.
March, 1927, had no snow and was
very warm. Rhubarb, spinach and
kale grown outdoors were ready for
market by April 1.
March, 1929, was quite warm with
the thermometer many times stand
ing in the eighties"
Above Normal
This year, temperatures for the
first 19 days of March have been q
total of 152 degrees above normal
and last Fridays warm weather was
20 degrees above normal.
Winter may be expected to take
one or more beIated lashes at the
district, but all in all hopes are fol-
the earliest spring in years. Dis
cussions on the streets explained
that many residents have been ex.
pecting just this sort of develop
ment:
Seasons have a way of evening
up the hardships of weather varia
tions. A hard winter, like the one
we just experienced, is followed by {

pect this, could be heard on ever!

In the meantime keep your fingers
crossed. Who knows? Maybe
they're right.

Early Spring In Prospect After Severe
Winter Sets Many All Time Records

Indications of an early spring,
following on the heels of an old
fashioned winter that brought fence
high snow drifts and sub-zero wealth
er, were welcomed by Bluffton
residents during the last week.
Grass turned green and buds on
trees and shrubs swelled almost
overnight, as the earliest spring in
more than a decade appeared to
have made its debut.
Bright sunshine and unseasonably
warm weather prevailed in one
week stretch beginning last Wednes-
day, marked by temperatures of 70
degrees on Friday and 10 on Satur-
day, and the weatherman even
provided typical spring thunder
showers on the latter day.
With the official arrival of spring
coming with the vernal equinox
Tuesday evening, weather forecasts
for the week are for a continuation
of mild weather, and there are hopes
that an "early spring" may bring
compensation for the "early winter
that set in last November.
Winter Set Records
The winter of 1944-45 set records.
1t had eight days in which the
mercury touched zero or below. The
normal is three.
1t had the snow blanket of long
est duration-one that clung tena-
ciously for 72 days.
1t had a total of 64 inches of
snow, which was beaten only by the
winters of 1907-0s, which had 80
inches, and 1909-10, which had 65.
(But the longest a snow blanket
ever remained on the ground here
previously was in 1918, when the
snow fingered p days.)
1t saw fuel shortages, ice-sheathed
and hazardous streets.
1t saw war plant absenteeism soar
because workers automobiles stalled
in deep snowdrifts.
