SUMMARY OF WEATHER
REPORT BY GOVERNMENT.
Washington, April 23.—'The week
ending April 23 Is the third consecu
tive week of abnormally cold weather
In the dlatricts east of the Mississippi
river. The period from the 8th to the
22d wae abnormally cold throughout
the country east of the Rocky moun
tains. The last aev in days had a mean
temperature considerably below normal
In the plateau regions and In all dis
tricts to the eastward, with the ex
ception of Fal, the temperature was
decidedly below normal, the most
marked deficiencies occurring In the
central valleys. The general weather
conditions of the week were unfavora
ble In nearly all districts east of the
Rocky mountains, but on the Pacific
coast and In the southern plateau re
gion the weather was favorable. The
freezing weather prevailed as far south
a* northwestern Texas, the central
Mississippi and upper Ohio valleys,
western North Carolina and to the
New Jersey coast, with heavy frosts as
far south as Arkansas and Tennessee.
Except In the gulf states and over the
southeastern Rocky mountain slope,
where the precipitation was much
above normal, the week was generally
dry, large areas In the central valleys
and lake region receiving no rain or
only Inappreciable showers. There was
also a practical absence of rain on the
north New England coast. In southern
Florida, southern Oregon and over the
western portions of the central and
south plateau regions and In Califor
nia.
The drought In the central gulf dis
tricts haa been relieved, but rains are
needed over a large part of the upper
Mississippi and lower Missouri val
leys. . Snow and sleet occurred over a
large part of the central valleys on
the 16th and 18th, and scattered hall
storms In the South-Atlantic states on
the 18th.
