Show December HILL TOP TIMES 10, 1976 Page December climiatology 2 Lt. Ricky C. Savage.Det. 6, 15WS Old Man Winter has finally caught up with Hill AFB. The outlook for the month of December calls for cold By temperatures and snow. Traditionally, December has the greatest number of snowstorms of the year. However, this has been an unusually mild year. According to the statistics, our first inch of snowfall should have occurred on Nov. 15. The closest thing we had was light snow showers on Nov. 26. What is the reason for this mild weather and what is the outlook for this coming month? weather has been mild is because a high formed over Utah and has been has ridge pressure "stuck" there. As a result, storms climb over this ridge and after reaching the peak, slide down the other side, gaining speed and momentum in the process. This has resulted in an abundant amount of snow for Colorado during November. The pertinent question to ask now is will Utah ever be on the downhill side of this high The reason our "NOW" IS THE BEST TIME TO SAVE MONEY ON pressure. The answer to that is a qualified "yes." Indications at the end of November point to a shifting of the ridge further west, thus putting Utah in a prime snow producing region. Once the ridge establishes itself, it tends to stay in one position for a long period of time. However, it is impossible to say whether the shift is a temporary readjustment or whether it is a more permanent feature of the upper level flow. If the shift turns out to be temporary, Utah will continue to have very little snow; but if the shift is permanent, Utah will have a typical snowy December. Regardless of whether the ridge shifts or not, Hill will still get snow because of local effects. The average temperature will be 30 degrees F. which is two degrees F. colder than that needed to produce freezing. The air will be very dry and all we will need to produce snow is a moderate west wind (approximately 10 knots or greater). The dry air will flow over the Great Salt Lake and become saturated with moisture and as it raises over the mountain the moisture will be released in the form of snow. From all indications, Utah will have typical winter weather, including snow, smog, fog, and gusty canyon winds. The only question is, "Will winter come early enough so that we can go skiing in January or February? " Check next month for the answer. 76 MARK IV Cream and White Beautiful Car Loaded 76 LINCOLN Tovne Cpe.
