There was R sliglit cleficienvy in the Incliitna, Ohio, ant1 Pennsylvitiiiit sections, nntl in the Cliamplnin V:ille.v, and a sliglit excess throughout the reniaintler of the region. These sinnll clrpirtures froni tlie norinal values were, of course, the result of n fairly even distril-,u tion geo~rapliic'nlly. the clisturl~ttnces wliicli gave rise to the precipitation being either of suffivient iuagnitiide to corer most of the region, or taking such t~ course as to c:irry tlie prcvipitntion area entirely across tlie tlistrict. With tlie esception of tlie extreme northwestern see- tions, the )recipj tat ion was frequent throughout tht: tlie greatest portion of the monthly itiiioiints fell in tlie intervals of the 1st-6th m i l 14th-Wtli, ncconipanying the passage of :ttniosplieric clihturbances of i~onsicleraltlr mag- nitucle.

The gre:it- est clepths of niont lily snou f:tll occurred in the highlnntls of New Tork State, where inany stations rcportetl anioiints of more than 3 0 inclies ~n d several of inore than 40.

A numher of barometric depre4ons crossed tlie district during the month, itccoin ianietl by more or less rs JlI1 ' or snow aiicl strong wiiicls. 4 hree of tliese disturbances were of exceptional severity in the sections aflected, and caused considerable delayh to traffic ancl comniuiiicatioa. The storm of the Ist-3cl swept the estreme northern limits of the Lake region, causing R heayy fall of snow over the Lake Yuiierior rezion, and much ram. sleet. and snow over tlie nortliern counties of New York State. -4s a con- sequence, r:tilroatl traffic x w s interrupted to a great extent tlirougliout the wliole storm nren, while in the northeast- ern sections soine trains were reported to have been stalled in snow-tlriftecl cuts, niitl telegraph and telephone service suffered niuch difficulty and delay. The secontl clisturbance of the niontli, which ap- 1)roncliecl the Lake region from tlie wutliwest and p:tsseed over tlie entire length of the district froin the 5th t o the '7tli, was :iccompmietl hy one of tlie severest snows of recent years.

During tlie iirst two weeks of the month the ice in the ril-ers :iiicl harbors of the upper Lake region increased slowly in thickness, hut in the lower Lakes n ~u l in the soutliern portion of Lalie Michigan the changes were v-nrinble and, tis a rule, of small consequence. Tliere- after tlie ice continued to increase over the extreme northern portions of the upper Lskes until tlie warm weather of the last week set in, but in the other portions of the Lnkes there wtis a decided reduction, and at the end of tlie period inany of the harbors of the lower region were quite free. In Superior the ice in the harbor at Duluth averaged 33 inches in thickness during the last decade-from 5 to 6 inches thicker than usual-and at one or two points tihove the liitrbor proper measurements of 43 iriches were made hy the United States engineers while niakina sound- ings for dredging purposes. a t sault Ste. 3tarie tTie river ice reached a ~nax~nium thicliliess of 20 inches on the 37th.
