Show Weather Report For Two Weeks Ends Year of 1962 Several things happened wea--therwise during the last two weeks of 1962. Winter arrived officially of-ficially on Dec. 22, the first measurable meas-urable precipitation for several weeks was registered on Dec. 18, 19, and 24. Also, the lowest temperature tem-perature of the season was recorded recor-ded during the early morning hours of Dec. 26. The past month as a whole, was marked by abnormal arid conditions for a December in Utah. Also, there have been an unusual number of bright, sunny days. Snow cover in the eastern watersheds wat-ersheds is only about 10 per cent of normal for this time of year. Culinary and irrigation water officials of-ficials are definitely worried. Unless Un-less conditions change materially for the better soon, 1963 could feature a record-breaking dry summer. There has oeen plenty of snowfall snow-fall in the United States lately. But unfortunately most of it has fallen where it was not needed. The "irrigation" states have remained re-mained dry. No appreciable change is expected ex-pected in the near future, the forecasters said. Statistics for the period ending December 31, 1962. Date High Low Pre.
