PAGE TWELVE MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE, MEDFORD, OREGON, SUNDAY. MARCH 22, 1936. WEATHER ACTS UP IN MARCH STYLE; The -wea.thr yesterday showed so respect for the vernal equinox. In fact It treated the vernal equinox with the foul tactics of Ken Hoi 11a. Med ford's No. 1 bad man of the mat arena. The vernal equinox, It may be re called, oame traipsing In on Friday to the singing of blrda and the budding of buda. The aim crossed the equator without damage to either and thua spring began. In honor of the occa sion the temperature ran a raver ana hopped up to a maximum of 70 de greea. Then the dirty work started. Yes terday, the second day of spring, the vernal equinox was floored with an underhanded uppercut to the button. The mercury's affection for the springtime debutante suddenly cooled off and the temperature was able to reach a peak of only 46 degrees as agalnat 70 the day before. High for the day was only ten degrees above the morning minimum of 36. Not only that. A chill wind ripped through the valley most of the day, blowing from eight to 31 miles an hour, Snow fell. Yes, snow fell, as well as hall, sleet, rain and a mixture of all. And the coolness la likely to con tinue, for the meteorological bureau predicted fair weather today and to morrow with frost. Early last night the mercury stood at 40 degrees as against 65 at the same hour the pre vious night. The weather bureau blamed It on a blgh pressure area over the ocean and low pressure area over the Rocky mountains. The high tried to Invade the low's territory and sent ripping winds to the east. That, said the weather bureau. Invariably happens when a high and a low get too close to each other. The low provides a sort of decline down which air from tha high descends. If the weather bureau doesnt mind, this writer prefers the vernal equinox. PORTLAND, Ore., March 31.
