S. Weather Bureau Records for years indicated, and Canadian data from the Climatological Atlas of Canada for years indicated. * Col. 2. The stations followed by letter A are airport stations; all others are city office stations and are followed by letter C. e Col. 3. The elevations marked c are ground elevations of the station. All other elevations given are the actual elevations of the thermometer bulb above mean sea level. * Col. 4. The periods of record indicated apply only to the lowest temperature ever recorded shown inCol. 5, and generally extend from a summer month of the first year indicated through the spring months of the last year indicated. The periods marked by * terminated in December of the year indicated * Average of readings of one lowest temperature obtained for each year for period of record. For Canada, in some cases, more than one location have been used. * For period October to April, inclusive. * It should be noted that Col. 8 in the United States section of the table applies only to airports, as these data for city stations are not available at this time. The temperature shown is the minimum hourlyout-door temperature which has been equalled or exceeded 97H percent of the total hours in December, January and February for the period of record. It is pointed out that in most cases the airport stations are outside of the city and these data would apply primarily to rural areas. 11 Col. 9 indicates the maximum wind velocity which occurred at temperatures the same as, and lows than, the temperatures shown in Col. S. 1 Col. 10 records design temperatures in use by A.S.H A.E. Members as reported by Chapter Secretaries for the various stations. Where these were not available the design temperatures from an ACRMA pubbca* tion and various other sources have been inserted. * The wind velocities indicated in Col. 11 were furnished by the U. S. Weather Bureau and corrected through Feb. 1948. k A bulletin prepared by A.S.H.A.E. and U. S. Weather Bureau for annual weather data of city of Detr*#4 indicates 6 as design temperature baaed on Dec.'to March, inclusive. m Computed for Reading by Karl Shelley and O. F. Smith. n The winter design temperatures for Canadian cities for bases of 1,2V5,5 and 10 percent are the FahreR^^ temperature values at or below which 1, 2Vs, 6 and 10 percent of the January hourly outdoor temperau^ occur, for the 10 years 1941 to 1950. The tabulated values are based on hourly temperature observations^ some of the cities and upon the difference between the mean monthly temperature and the design tempera^ for the remainder of the cities listed. Most of the wind speeds are based on periods ending in 1947 which are somewhat shorter than^f periods for the minimum temperatures.
