THE COLD SNAP.
This morning Mr. T. W. Rowe recorded at his observatory in Hawker-street the lowest temperature for the year — viz., 36'ldeg. This is ono-tenth ot a degree lower than that recorded yesterday morning. Mr. Rowe remarks : — The great difference between my record and that of the Observatory yesterday morning— viz., 5% is interesting. At 8 a.m, iv tho shade up at my residence the small drifts of hail wore moist, and had evidently not been frozen into a mass, while as late as midday there was an unfrozen sheet on the shady footpath in Victoria-street, near the Public Library. Tho temperature recorded at the Museum last night was 31 in the shade as against 31 on the previous night ; and 25 on the grass as against 21 on the previous night.
