At Pembina one is on the 40th degree north, while the sun in December is 23° south of the equator — total 72°, which from 90° leaves 18°, the height of the sun above the horizon at noon. The sky is often brilliantly clear for weeks at a time, but there is not warmth enough in the sun to loosen an icicle on the south side of the house. But it is warm enough in summer. The winter before I was there, AYright County enjoyed four months continuous sleighing. The next June a pumpkin-vine I measured g...rew four and a half inches in twenty-four hours. The snow is usually gone by the 10th of April; the ground dries rapidly, and farmers often plow upon the south slope while the snow still lies on the north slope. The soil has a mixture of black sand, and freezes so hard in winter that it never clods or " bakes " in summer. The local records show that the year should be divided thus: Winter, five months; spring, one month; summer, four months; autumn, two months. The summer heat would be very op- pressive but for the breeze w^hich is almost constant from the west and south-west.
