FEBRUARY
IS
NOT
SO
BAD
February
weather
in
Prince
Rupert
was
nothing
to
boast
about
unless
it
be
in
comparison
with
other
parts
of
British
Columbia
and
Western
Canada
which
found
it
the
toughest
winter
month
in
generations.
At
that
there
was
just
about
as
much
sun
his
February
as
last
and
less
precipitation.
The
city
had
a
total
of
57.6
hours
of
sunshine
which
was
just
about
stand-off
with
58
hours
in
February
of
1948.
To
date
the
sunshine
aggregates
95
hours
compared
with
111.2
hours
in
the
first
two
months
of
1948.
There
was
precipitation
in
February
to
the
total
of
5.72
In
ches
which
was
not
excessive
t
although
it
seemed
a
lot
at
times.
It
was
actually
less
than
last
February's
5.72
inches
which,
hwoever,
consisted
practically
entirely
of
rain
while
this
year
it
consisted
of
a
lot
of
snow.
The
precipitation
this
year
to
date
is
17.83
inches,
actually
less
than
19.07
inches
in
the
first
two
months
of
1948.
From
the
temperature

standpoint
this
February
was

below
average
with
a
mean
of
27.2
