In commenting on the rcather Hr. Dalloun
states that February probably had the deep-'
ost accumulated snor —, the deepest drifts,
and had one of the lorest ’’averages far the
month”, ’"hen compared to the average Of
the period from 1917 to 1943 inclusive,
this year's February seems ’’rugged", Mr.
Balloun states. Hiring the period from
1917 to 1943 the average of the daily min
imum temperature mas 10,2, and the average
of the daily maximum temperatures mas 27.5.
It mill be noted that this is a higher
minimum and maximum than the above four
years have recorded.
For this same period from 1917 to 1943,
the lo-est for the month of February ras
a -32 in 1932. Th record of 1947 exceeded
that rith a lor of -41.
The average snorfall from 1917.to 1943 ras
7.2" rhich mould moke our average snorfall
for the past four years rithin the normal
range. The deep snor of February this
year ras due to accumulation as roll as
heavy snorfall for the month. It 'ill be
remembered that there had been no thar all
rinter until the last tro reeks.
The highest temperature recorded betreeh
1917 and 1943 for the month of February
ras 56 in 1943, and is. higher than any re
corded for the past four years.
Hr. Balloun reminds us that before re get
to feeling too bad about the February
reather record of this yoar, that re should
think back to 1946, rhen betreon January
24, and February 5, there rere 12 days
rith a minimum recorded of -30 or loror
and on February 1 the lor ras -3.3 rith a
"strong rind".
