When Al Danced
OF U. S.
Warm Climatic Trend
Started About Time of
Spanish War Continues
Declares Weather Bureau
By F. 11. COLTON
Axioclated I'reu Science Writer
WASHINGTON. (AP) Another
unusually warm winter has Just gone
down In American history and
Grandpa's atones of the cold winters
they had when he wu a toy are stlU
just stories to the younger genera
tion. Although the northeast corner of
the United States bad the coldest
February ever known and was 2 to
8 degrees colder than normal all win
ter, and despite an unusually chilly
February everywhere east of the Mis
sissippi river, the piut winter was a
warm one for the country as a whole.
This Is the verdict of tho United
States weather bureau after casting
up Its accounts for tho official win
ter Wthtch runs from December 1 to
February 28. We may have some
more wintry weather txifore the ad
vent of real spring days, but Uncle
Sam's winter Is limited arbitrarily
for purposes of statistical compari
son. It'll Be Cold A Rain
Ite records reveal that we are still
enjoying the warm climatic trend
that started along about the time
of the Spanish-American war and
which has been bringing us winters
bad for Vie furnace trade and sum
mers good for the Ice cream busi
ness ever since.
There Is no sign that the cold win
ters of Grandpa's day are due back
yet. But they probably will return
sooner or later, for past records of
the weather bureau show that tem
peratures for the country as a whole
seem to move In cycles, first warm,
then cold.
Sneaking of Weather i
Here's the weathor man's story of I
the winter Just ended:
"The winter as a whole was
warmer than normal In all sections i
of the country, except In a rather!
limited area In the northeast. Prom
central Virginia, central West Vlr-1
gin la and the middle lake region,
northeastward, the average temper
ature for the three months ranged
from 1 to 8 degrees below normal.
"In the south It was mostly from
8 to 5 degrees above normal, and
over nearly all of the western two
thirds of the country the averages
ranged from 3 to moro than 10 de
grees higher than normal.
"An Interesting comparison Is af
forded between the winter of 1932-'33
and that of 1033-'34, The former
was decidedly cold over a consider
able area of the far west, especially
In the great basin, and warmer than
normal everywhere east of the
Rocky mountains.
"The latter was abnormally warm
In the west whore lost winter was
cold, and cold in the northeast
where last winter was relatively
warmest. For the country as a whole,
this last winter was considerably
warmer than the preceding one.
Snowfall Below Normal
"Precipitation for the winter of
1033-'34 was decidedly below normal j
In nearly all sections east of the I
Mississippi river, Vie middle and up-
per trans-Mississippi states, the j
southwest and much of the north- i
west, in most of eastern Texas, the 1
oentral great plains, and central
Rocky mountain states, the winter
totals were above normal.
"Thus, In general, the winter of
1933-'34 was decidedly warmer than
normal and had less than the nor
mal precipitation. About 00 per cent
of the country had more than nor
mal warmth,"
