COULD
Snow Scarcity Last Winter
Explained By Weather Man
Onr Climate Is Not Charging.
Snowy Winters Arc Coming
Again.
The outstanding feature ot the
weather so far this winter is the
absence of much snow. No, our
climate is not changing. Snowy
and cold winters will reappear with
mild open ones intervening, and the
averages in the long run will not
change.
Johnny has not had much op
portunity to coast because our
storms have not been coming from
the direction favorable for snow, or
at an opportune time.
In order to develop a good snow
storm In this lattitude, a cold wave
and a storm must be suitably con
joined. To understand this one
should be acquainted with the char
aoteristlcs of cold waves and storms
in the United States, says The
New York Times.
Uncle Sam prepares a daily
weather map showing the positions
of storms, cold areas, etc., over the
United States. Tills map is based
on telegraphic reports on the var
ious weather elements throughout
this country and adjacent terri
tory. After lines are drawn on the
map through^laces of equal air
pressure (barometer readings) the
areas where this pressure is lowest
are designated "low,” and where
highest they are marked “high.”
Areas Explained.
The low is technically called a
cyclone or disturbance and the high
an anti-cyclone. The low draws
mild, moist surface winds toward its
centre in a sort of giant spiral,
manner, in an anti-clockwise
movement; while the high thrusts
dry, cold wtids outward from Its
centre and downward from aloft in
a colossal clockwise spiral motion.
The low' Is usually accompanied by
cloudiness or rain over certain
quadrants of its area; cold, dry
weather is prevalent over most of
area covered by a high.
Thus we can see that if a low is
south of us we will have northerly
winds, remembering that the sur
face winds are drawn toward the
area of least pressure (lowest baro
meter.) Also if a high is nprth of
us we will experience dry, cold
northerly winds, for the winds are
being thrown outward from the
area of greatest pressure (highest
barometer).
It must also be understood that
these areas of low and high baro
meters have a progressive move
ment across the country as well as
their own local circulation of sur
face winds and that the low or
storm centre moves against the sur
face winds. For instance, a storm
producing a northeast wind here
moves toward us from the south,
but the upper clouds and winds
aloft move in the direction with its
progressive movement.
When lows move .from the south
up the Atlantic coast toward New
York, the winds become north or
northeast, and our chances for snow
or sleet are good if there is cold
enough weather to the north of us
to support It and if conditions aloft
are not inverted. that is, above
freezing at the level of the precipi
tation producing oiand below
freezing near the earth’s surface.
When lows move from our north
west over the Lake region and
down the St. Lawrence valley, or
up the Mississippi valley to the
Great Lakes and then down the St.
Lawrence, we have little or no
chance for snow, as southerly
winds are too warm. This is about
what has happened frequently this
winter.
When a combination of a. low
moving directly up the Atlantic
Coast and a high moving over the
Great Lakes act jointly, we have a
circulation of cold, dry winds from
the north out of the high into the
moist area of the low. Such a con
dition In winter results in heavy
condensation on a large scale in
the form of snow, with strong
w inds and a deep snow, and the
temperature will often fall rapidly
during the progress of the storm.
•‘The “Too Cold To Snow” Fallacy
On the other hand, if the high
over the Lakes or Ohio valley ex
erts too much pressure against the
low while it is near the Carolinas
it will force the storm too far out
to sea to produce precipitation here,
in which event we will experience
cold and threatening conditions.
Hence the expression "too cold to
snow,” which of course, is a fall
acy. Does it not snow in our north
west and northern New England
with the temperature far below
zero?
It was no other than Benjamin
Franklin who discovered that
northeast storms on the Atlantic
coast move up the coast from the
south. An important eclipse of the
moon was scheduled for a certain
date and Franklin had made prep
arations at Both Philadelphia and
Boston ti> make observations of the
phenomenon. Much to his disap
pointment, however, a northeast
rainstorm set in at Philadelphia
that night, completely upsetting his
observations.
As it was a severe storm and the
winds blew hard from the direction
of Boston (northeast) Franklin
gave up all idea that conditions
anywhere northeast of Philadel
phia would permit of visibility of
the eclipse, and made up his mind
that the preparations had all been
for naught. When communications
were established with Boston,
Franklin learned, much to his sur
prise, that the observation there
had been a complete success, the
sky being clear, but that the north
east storm had reached Boston the
next morning.
SHELBY CHILDREN PRAISED
FOR THEIR SACRIFICE
Mount Airy Times:
Our esteemed contemporary the
Cleveland Star relates that the high
school students of Shelby have sac
rificed their annual banquet In or
der to contribute the sum towards
keeping the schools in session. This
truly represents a wonderful spirit,
but it is doubtful if the sum of $100
will keep the Shelby high school
running, figuring on average op
erating costs, as long as the ban
quet would probably last.
