Bureau’s meteorological summary.
Ranging from a maximum Oi 48
degrees on the St!i i < a minimum of
12 on the iistli. the temperature aver
aged 241.5 degrees for the month, a
against the normal of 26.7 degrees.
A reading of 32 degrees or lower tv a s
recorded each day of the month, and
there were 12 days on which the
temperature rose above 32 degree
.it some time during the 24 hours.
With the temperatures generally
below freezing the precipitation wa
naturally mostly in the form of -now.
The total of min and unmelted snow
was 5.Hi Inches, as against a Jan
uary mean of past years of G.8'1
inches. Th s snowfall aggregated 46.2
'nolios. with a water equivalent o
3.S3 inches. Allhough 1.33 inches oi
rain fell during the month, there
was a sufficient snow cover to ab
sorb the rain and practically n
water reached the surface of the
ground. With 0.r>8 inches of water
in the form of unmeUed snow tii.i'
was on the ground at the beginning
of the month, the water content o
the snow cover at the end of th
month was 5.74 inches. Flat roofs >
unhealed building- are therefore ear
ning an enormous weight of water,
said Meteorologist M. B. Summers.
Although the aver.ir ib nth of the
now cover at the end of the month
was only about 11> inches, the layer
is so den- * that • aeh square foot
of it weighs 2!>.it pounds, and a space
;uly lit feet square has a weight of
practically one and one half tons.
Although the snowfall of the m mth
Just closed was 13 Inches more than
'he January normal, r w is but little
more than half of the amount that
II In the memorable month of De
'o nber. 1317. uvnrding ;t> Mr. Sum
mer:. In that month the total wa
81.1 inches, and none of it melted on
the ground. The water content of
'lie snow of 'that month was G.37
Inches, and the weight sustained by
roofs at the end of the month wa
therefore somewhat greater than at
the end of Janu i:> of this year.
There were 21 days in January on
which a meastireable quantify of rain
or snow fell; 7 days that were clear,
1 that was partly cloudy and 23 that
were cloudy.
The uverag • hourly wind move
ment was 7't mil and the highest
velocity for a five-minute period
wus 38 miles an hour from the east,
on the 17th.
The sunshine aggregated 55.7
hours, or 25 per ceic of the possible
amount.
