Show WEATHER IN JUNCTION CITY REMARKABLE WINTER TEMPERATURE TEMPER-ATURE EXPERIENCED HERE. Forty Degrees Above Zero In Ogden. Until Yesterday Northwest Visited by Blizzards j During the past week, up to Sat-urday Sat-urday at i2 o'clock, Ogden weather maintained an even tomperature at 40 degrees above zero, an exceedingly high temperature. At that hour tho mercury began to fall and continued in the downward courso until at 2 o'clock this morning it registered 15 degrees above tho zero mark. Because Be-cause of the rather sudden change from the high to the low temperature the moderately cold weather of last night was much more noticeable than It would have been had it not been preceded by high temperature. The remarkably warm winter weather of the time indicated was damaging In some respects. It inter-' fered materially with the gathering of ice and caused such an overflow in 1 the" Ogden' river that tho farmers In some localities were forced to get out with their teams and throw up dykes for the protection of their premises against the flood. The snow that' had fallen before the thaw camo on was melted and the water fairly 6oaked the ground all over town, leaving tho j streets veritable seas of mud, which, ' the doctors state, had a tendency to Impair the health of the people and bring Into active being certain disease dis-ease germs. According to dispatches from sections sec-tions of country both north and south of Ogden during the week, extremely cold weather prevailed. Travelers coming down from Montana and other cold regions were much surprised to find the Ogden weather almost as that experienced in the springtime. It appears that the cold wave missed this region altogether. Last night, however, was a cold, clear night, the indications being that tho city will no doubt experlenco a cold spell. Tbe thermometer In front of Browning Brown-ing Brothers played an uncommon prank yesterday morning about 3 o'clock. While the mercury was steadily going down, having reached the 28 degree mark, it suddenly soared upward to 70 degrees. There was apparently no change in the weather and Just what caused the mercury to rise so abruptly at that time Is a sort of mystery. It soon came back, however, and continued on its downward way. |
