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.
