Page Four THE PILOT, Southern Pines and Aberdeen, North Carolina Friday, November 18, 1938L Sunny Skies, Favorable Weather, Predominate Througrhout Winter Few Real Cold Days, Snowfalls Exceptional, Average Temper ature in 40’s By Charles Macauley Chief among the many inquiries made by prospective visitors to the Sandhills is the one concerning wea ther conditions: temperature, rain and snowfall. While all other condi tions conform to a rather constant mean and are ordinarilly easily de scribed, weather everywhere a topic of interest and everywhere variable, is uncertain enough to confound any attempt to forecast for any one sea son. We can attempt an answer to the oft repeated inquiry by comparisons with former years—plus hopes for the future. Our records, dating back for the pa^t 40 years, give every as surance of sunny skies and favor able weather for most of the days of early winter, and spring-like condi tions for early March. As our season is one of winter, it Is only fair to concede that the wea ther hereabouts is not decidedly warm all the time. It is sometimes cold, usually only for a day, or a few days at a time, and even then the middle of the cold days is likely to be warm and gentle, making outdoors exer. cise a pleasure. The winters are short, running into extremely early spring. Real snowfalls are exceptional. Last season, December to April, recorded just two flurries both in December.
