' AVI Brian Korth November closes with more snow in mountain area Fair and mild weather persisted per-sisted during much of last week but a weekend storm swept across the north and western portion of the state dropping up to 2 feet of snow in the higher mountains but only light to moderate amounts of moisture at most valley reporting points. Temperatures rose during the fore part of the period to average near to a little below normal but dropped again over the week end as the storm swept across the( region. The department of agriculture reports that the mild weather enabled growers to nearly complete the sugar beet harvest with only 200 acres remaining in the ground. Soil temperatures have now dropped to the mid 30's in Chche Valley with the surface soil freezing on most mornings, the upper 30's at Salt Lake City and Richfield and the mid 40's in Utah's Dixie. Maximum soil temperatures at the 4 inch depth average 2 or three degrees above these averages over most of the state but 5 or 6 degrees higher in the Dixie Area. As the period of more severe winter weather approaches, residents of the intermountain area might well consider the possible implications these storms may have on them individually. in-dividually. First did you realize that over a 30 year period National Oceanic and Atmospheric At-mospheric Administration figures show that several thousand people have been killed by winter storms. About one-third one-third of these deaths were the result of storm-related automobile or home accidents-a little less than one-third succumbed suc-cumbed to heart attacks induced by overexertion in heavy snow and about one-tenth froze to death. In preparing for winter storms around the farm remember also that blizzards take a terrible toll of livestock each year. Also these same blizzards often close roads, cut off power supplies and sometimes affect sources of water. If you are planning on traveling during winter conditions con-ditions NOAA suggest having a car kit ready which might involve in-volve booster cables, tow chains, tire chains, blankets or sleeping bags, matches-a source of external heat and other emergency items to enable you to survive if stranded. CLIMATIC PLANNING GUIDE As we move into the month of December we find a carryover of November's more stable weather conditions. On the average high pressure systems dominate the weather pattern 4 days out of each month in the intermountain area and thus fog and restricted visibility may be quite common in fnany northern valleys during the early part of the month. Low pressure systems occur with about the same frequency as in November, but these seem How much gasoline does a Utah baby use? Not much? Well, every man, woman and child uses an average of three gallons of oil products every day. ' All told, America uses 600 million gallons daily. And demand Is increasing so fast that by the time this baby Is 15 years old; he and every other American will be using six gallons every day. A country that runs on oil can't afford to run short.
