The temperature at Charlotte seldom
goes lower during any winter than on
yesterday and there are many winters
?r when it does not go as low. During the
' past eighteen years, covering the rec-
- ords of tbe Weatner Bureau, tne tem
perature has been lower than yesterday
only during seven winters, distributed
by months as .follows: December twice,
, January, four times., and February
j nly once. The lowest temperature
- ivloosly recorded, wtth .. the - dates
- have been - as follows: , December -,
1880, 6 degrees below zero (this being
the lowest temperature ever recorded
.- at Charlotte); December 23, 1834, a de
