MORE SNOW IN MOUNTAINS
THIS YEAR THAN USUAL

The snowfall bulletin Of the Colo
rado section OF the climatologjcal ser
vice. recently issued from the Denver
Office OF the weather bureau. gives in
detail the amount of precipitation
throughout the state since the begin
ming of the winter season as reported
by the forestry service. It says:
Thus far this season the weather
conditions in the mountains have been
favorable to the water supply. octob-
er was wetter than usual. principally
as a result Of the heavy and general
rains In the early part Of the month;
the ground Is hlied with moisture.
The snowfall. however. was confined
to a few localities during the latter
half OF the month During November
the precipitation was In the form Of
snow. and although the distribution
was irregular, the amount. as a
whole. was greater than usual. As
compared with the normal for No
vember. a deficiency occurred on the
South Platte drainage area. except in
the southern part of Jefferson coun-
ty. and near the Continental di-
vide in Boulder county. and In the
western part OF IArimer county. On
the Arkansas drainage an excess was
noted In Lake and the northern part
OF Chaffee county; also in Huerfano
and Las Animas counties. On the wa
tershed OF the Rio Grande the fall zv-
craged somewhat above the normal.
West OF the Continental divide the
precipitation was even more local in
character. An excess occurred in the
upper reaches OF the San Juan. and
here and there in the upper reaches
OF the Gunnison and Grand. A moder-
ate excess was general in the region
drained by the White and Yampa.
