(old Spring Weather Produces Interostinn Snow-Mo- ll Cold spring weather has produced some interesting snow melt patterns reports Jack ConYoung of the USDA-S- oil servation Service. High elevations range from to 137 of normal, while lower elevations are as high ns 96 410 of normal. This is not due to extra heavy snowfall, but due to cold weather that has slowed the snow melt at lower elevations. Jack cautions that if very warm weather comes there could be some danger of flooding, due to both high and low snow melting at the same time. FoUowing is the snow depth and water content at the various measuring stations. Trial Lake has 75 inches of snow and 26.3 inches of water. This is 96 of average. Soapstone has 20 inches of Patterns snow and 7.4 inches of water This is 129 of normal. Upper Reddon Mine has 58 inches of snow and 23.3 inches of water, for 137 of normal. Lower Reddon Mine has 52 inches of snow and 19.8 inches of water. This is 133 of normal. Smith-M- o re ho use has 29 inches of snow and 10.4 inches of water for 179 of normal. Chalk Creek No. 1 has 77 inches of snow and 25.6 of water, for 110 of normal. Chalk Creek No 2 has 47 inches of snowandl6.4 inches of water, for 140 of normal. Chalk Creek No. 3 has 21 inches of snow and 7.8 inches of water for 410 of normal. Both Echo and Wanship reservoirs are filling rapidly and soil moisture is very good, so prospects are good for an ample water supply for 1973, Jack says. W. Lyle Reynolds, SCS |
