tbere was no snowfall during the
month and at the same time rainfall
was quite light, totalling only 1.5
inches.
The bigbest temperature was rec-

mercury soared to 80 degrees. The
lowest for the month was three days,
later when the temperature dropped
to 16 degrees. The month generally
was bright and unseasonably warm
wall a total of 21 daps or sunshine.
