During the past ten years, Springville's daily weather has been recorded at two different locations. One of these locations is at a residential home on the west side of Springville; the other is at a school located on the east side of Springville. Springville Weather Station (elev: 4555 ASL): Since November 1, 1975, J. Brent Packard has taken daily weather observations at his home located at 303 North 200 West, Springville.

Springville Junior High School Weather Training Station (elev: 4630 ASL-rooftop elevation) : On October 22, 1975, daily weather observations were started by eighth and ninth grade students at Springville Junior High School, located at 165 South 700 East, Springville. These weather observations were taken each school day by students who built and maintained a small temporary weather station located on top of the school roof. In 1978, the Nebo School District replaced this temporary structure with a permanent brick and concrete weather station, which ESTIMATED 30-YEAR NORMALS FOR SPRINGVILLE Average Average Average Average Max.

However, from September 1978 to the present time, daily weather observations have concentrated more on the temperatures, precipitation amounts and maximum wind speeds that have occurred during school hours, than on those that have taken place on a daily basis or over a 24-hour period. Shown with this article is a climatological chart showing the estimated 30-year normals of temperatures, precipitation, and annual freeze-free period for Springville. These numerical estimates were derived from statistical extrapolations ex-trapolations of the climatological data of the Springville Weather Station as compared to climatic records for the same period of time of nearby Provo and Spanish Fork. The resulting figures were then-compared then-compared to the longer 30-year normals for Provo and Spanish fork, and an appropriate matnematical model was then May 2, 1!)X Sprinyvil Profile winner Laurel Love, of 1010 South 400 East No. 20, was the winner of the Profile Contest this week. She won the whole thing guessing both the profile, who was. Delora Bertleson, city coun-cilwoman, coun-cilwoman, and the right number of clues. Laurel was unavailable to get her picture taken for this week's issue. She wins $52.00 in Profile Bucks for her right answers. There were 14 clues last week, but one extra clue was inadvertantly left on one of the small ads and so whoever won was eiven the benefit developed and utilized to project of the doubt if they answered 14 or 15 opnngvines 30-year normals of average monthly temperatures and precipitation and annual freeze-free period. clues. The extra clue listed a marriage date, and that probably threw some people who were entering, because Delora Bertleson has never been married We apologize to Delora and to those who might have been mixed up, for our error. Delora had great fun with the whole thing, stating that she didn't think her marriage would be announced in that manner. Her mother wondered if she had done something that she hadn't told her about.
