Sequence of Winter Climate, 277 At all events, in speculating on the past we do well always to seek for any present conditions which, if even multiplied by twenty or more degrees of intensity, would in their ways account for the above accumulations. As applied to the climate of New Brunswick, it may be stated that the meteor- ological conditions of the central and northern portions are pretty regular in kind. The mean temperature of the year may be put down at 44° Fahrenheit, the extremes attaining rarely 30° below zero, and 98^ in the shade. (See Appendix, page 307.) The prevailing winds in the winter are from the. north, and in summer from south and west. Snow averages three feet for four months, and is deepest in the northern dis- tricts, which are said to owe their greater fertility to that circumstance. A thaw takes place with considerable regularity shortly after New Year's Day. and when this is not the case an unusally cold winter is certain to result, such as took place in 1867-8. The cause of this sudden rise of temperature is not apparent, unless the prevailing winds, being then from south and east, might indicate a deviation of the regular at- mospheric currents of South America, the West Indies, or.
