Star THE WEATHER. Cyclonic Winds A. Snow Storm Cold V ": "Wave. . . Weather ! Well we had it here yester day, all four seasons in one day. At first warm, temperature 60 at 8 a. m., with occasional gentle showers just a fore taste of spring. This would have satis fied everybody bad not the Weather Bureau began issuing warnings of gales, cold waves, &c, but even then people were in hopes that "Old Prob might be "off" . this time. ' Not much ! About eleven o'clock the wind veered to west and then - to northwest, increasing hi force, and by noon was rolling up a re cord for a genuine March gale. The rain turned to snow about 1.15 p. m., which lasted some ten minutes; and about this time the wind reached a velo city of 48 miles per hour from the north west, and though moderating slightly, continued to blow a gale all last night, with the temperature dropping below freezing at a very discouraging rate; it being 31 at 8, o'clock, with promise of falling several more degrees before this morning. ' This stOrm .has been several days in coming to its severe focus. Thursday it appeared in Western Texas in the shape of . an area of j low pressure, which, by Friday . morning, spread out over the interior, with the i lowest pressure 29.78 inches over the: lower lakes. This was flanked by a decided "high" in the Northwest, which was accompanied by a well defined cold wave. By yesterday morning, the low pressure area instead oi moving off toward Canada, veered to the southwest concentrating off the North Carolina Coast, the barometer at tbe Wilmington station dropping as low as 29-.S inches. ! At this time the "hjgh" . which had increased to 80.7 inches, was rushing southeastward in a solid wall of freezing temperature, and in its effort to fill up the partial voidj along this coast caused the high wind.jwhicb, although severe Jhere, was as bad, if not worse, at several places in the j interior and along the coast. . j j j ' Any one j who has watched the "Weather Synopsis and General Fore- rcasts issued by our local Weather Bu reau station, must certainly give them redit for giving ample warning of this blizzard, for i as iar back as Thursday, IDbserver Chaffee predicted just the -weatner we were to nave, ana inat we Lve had lrom then to this time. f SUNDAY SERVICES.
