The snowfall during OCTOBER. NJ
vember and December was very un-'
evenly distributed and generally less
han normal, but as a whole greater
than last year especially at high al
titudes, says the United States wealth
sr bureau report. The ground is deep
y frozen, and there is an absence of
he huge drifts which commonly con-
tribute largely to the flow during mid
summer. On the Arkansas watershed
the average amount or more is stored
in Chaffee county. but on the south
ern drainage areas a marked deficien-
cy is general. For the South Platte
less than the average is noted, and
the same is true of the regions drain
ed by the Grand. the North Platte and
the Yampa. On the upper watershed
Of the Gunnison. in Gunnison county,
4 marked deficiency Is general, while
a corresponding excess is reported
over the upper drainage areas of its
southern tributaries. In the region
drained by the Rio Grande, especially
in the San Juan mountains, the stock
of snow is unusually large for thisA
time OF year. and similar conditions
prevail near the head of the Animas.
The depths given in the weather table
will doubtless be materially modified
for the better by the later snowfalls.
