| Summary: | This cyclone increased rapidly in intensity after leaving Montana, the central pressure falling below 20 inches over northern New England and the lower St. Lawrence Valley on February 26. Its further progress toward the east was blocked by an area of high pressure that covered Greenland and extended southeastward to the Azores at that time. Consequently it moved almost directly northward to the Hudson Strait region, reaching its greatest intensity near Fort Chimo where the barometer read 28.51 inches the evening of the 27th. By the morning of March 2 the center was near Ponds Inlet, Ban Land, but rising pressure to the north and northeast and a change in wind direction aloft caused the center to shift southward to the western end of Hudson Strait by the morning of the 3d.
