EATHER is like enicide in that it is subject to no apparent W rule except the law of averages, Despite the freakishness of these December days we know about how many rainy days there will be between now and a year hence. There will be 131 euch days, that is, days on which rain or snow to the amount of one one- bundredth of an inch will fall. There will be about sixty days more 60 obscured as to be ranked as cloudy. In the course of the year a little less than four feet of water (44.6 inches) in the form of rain or snow will fall upon Manhattan Island, | The remarkable thing about this city is the clearness of its win- | ter sunshine and the brightness of ite winter skies. Winter and sum- | mer it lies in a bath of sunshine that to British observers is quite as noteworthy as its skyscraper architecture. Only two great cities are ~ | better off—San Francisco with 2,869 sunny hours in @ year and Bos- ‘ton with 2,763. New York has 2,729 such hours, or 25 per cent. more | than St. Louis. All the interior cities of the State have from four to thirteen per cent. more cloudy weather than the metropolis. ‘The | Clearness of its skies in winter is due to the fact that then the pre- velling winds are from the northwest inatead of the southwest, and these carry the ocean vapors away from instead of toward the land. Winter winds here are higher than summer winds because the | prevailing wind, from the northwest, is really two winds reinforcing | seeh other. It is the planetary wind, the wind caused by the earth’s rotation, driven home by the monsoon, or wind blowing from the land out over the warmer sea. In summer the planetary wind from the t seouthwest is partially counteracted by the wind that blows inland | fren the cooler eea. This wind, however, is not strong enough to wallify the former or give it a prevailing onsterly direction. In the j interior it unites with the west wind and returns to us as the moist | f southerly wind, source of summer’s abumiant rainfall, source of the| ~ humidity then eo noticeable. . New York winters are made up of a fairly regular alternation of | maritime and continental conditions. Maritime conditions imply | ke meist and fairly warm weather accompanied by snow or rain. Con- E tinental conditions imply dry and cold weather accompanied by the | + keen nor’wester. If it is sunny and cold to-day it is a good predic- tion that four or five days hence it will be cloudy and much warmer. And if it is cloudy and warm to-day it will be sunny end cold four or five days hence. This variability is the essence of a New York winter.
