Greatest deficiencies will likely occur in the southeastern quarter of the state and in extreme southwestern counties. Temperatures will probably be above normal in the northwestern, central and southern parts of the state, and mostly below normal elsewhere, although departures from normal will not be great as a rule. The first two weeks of the month will possibly be the warmest, although maximum temperatures might be recorded at a few stations during the last week of the month. Throughout the latter half of January, stormy days will be quite frequent over much of northern Utah. During this later period, precipitation will be mostly in the form of snow and will produce a fairly general and comparatively heavy snow covering over the northwestern and northcentral portion of the state.

Stevens and Brough then decided to feed information from 27 additional weather stations into the computer and reduce the period from 80 years to 40 years. They found that accuracy increased . and the test results partially confirmed the theory. "Based on results of those and other tests, we now believe we can predict weather anywhere in the world 11 months in advance with 70 per cent accuracy.

Brough later returned to his desk, unaware of the shuffling, and continued dying the papers. Although he wasn't sure what had happened, he did notice a relationship that when the temperature goes up during a given month of one year, the rainfall can be expected to go up during the same month the following year.
