Show Mountain Snow Now Above Average Depth After complaining for five months about the lack of snow and the probable scarcity of water for the coming summer, March staged a play which brought precipitation at all points of measurement well above the 14 year average, Thomas A. Walker, Cave Camp custodian, reported after the measurements were taken March 31. At the Timpanogos divide there were 82 inches of snow, with a water content of 25.5 inches. During the month of March 8.64 inches of precipitation fell bringing bring-ing the total for the season up to 25.12 as compared with the 14 year average of 25.01. At Timpanogos Cave camp there were 10.6 inches of snow, compared to none at the same time last year. Snow coverage and water content at all stations was above normal. The excessive water content at lower levels indicates in-dicates an excessive spring runoff run-off for this area, Mr. Walker said. |
