CLIMATOLOGICAL REPORT FOR DECEMBER, 191S The average precipitation in Ari zona for November was heavier than for several years past, and the snow fall in the mountains was correspond ingly heavy. As a result, at the end of November there was more snow on the higher levels of the state than at any corresponding date of record. Most of the snow which fell in No vember occurred above the COOO-foot level, and onVy that which fell at higher elevations remained on the ground. The Vnountain snowfall ob server at Henry's camp estimated that Nantack ana the White mountains had an average snow covering of more than twelve inches at the close of No vember. During December there were three well defined periods of precipitation, yielding a total snowfall much in ex cess of the normal amount for the month. The first storm occurred on the 6-7th, producing rain in the val leys and snow of from two to eight inches at higher elevations. At the end of the second decade a storm (was general which gave moderately heavy falls of snow in all mountain districts. On the 30th another widespread snow storm covered the state, adding to the accumulation of snow already in the mountains, except in the Gila water shed and in the southeast where it was light and accompanied by rain. Nearlv all the snow in the southeast portion of the state had melted by the close of the month, with considerable run-off. as the eround was.wcll soak ed from rains and melting snow which occurred in November and the early part of December. In other districts but comparitively little melting oc curred exceptat lower levels, as the temperature during the month kept well below normal. At the end of the month reports of accumulated depths show from 12 to 20 inches of snow at elevations of 6,000 feet over a wide belt extending from Grand Canyon southeasterly along the Verde-Little Colorado di vide and White mountains, and from 40 to 50 inches at elevations above 7,000 feet. The Sierra Ancha moun tains. Salt River watershed, as shown by the average of ten stake readings reported by the observer at iarrs ranch, have a snow covering of 31 inches. There were trom two to live inches over the headwaters of the Verde, Hassayampa, and Agua Fria watersheds, and from six to ten inches over the northeast plateau region. The greatest depth of snow reported from any one station was 51 inches at stake No. 59 in the Sierra Anchas on the Salt river watershed. A depth of 46 inches was reported at Englemann Spruce station, elevation iu.ouu leet on the southwest slope in the San Francisco mountains. The depth of snow on the Mogollon range, Little Colorado watershed, was 24 inches on Ttnrtherlv slopes and 18 inches on southerly slopes. On northerly slopes 01 Ulll WI111UII1S 111UU111U1U tU ,IIWH.5 are reported. The forest ranger at Eagar reported heavy depths of 40 inches on Horseshoe Cicnega. The snow in the Sierra Anchas ana upper Verde watersheds seems to be light in density, while that In the White mountains is wet and well packed with tendency to crust forma tion. The prosepct for a plentiful supply of water in reservoirs in the spring is more promising than at any cor responding date .for several years past. It will be remembered that no precipitation of consequence occurred (luring November and December of last year. o For Doc's Work. A famous British Admiral was com plimented on his superb health. "I attribute it," he said, "to plenty of exercise and no banquets. One-third of what we cat enables us to live." "What becomes of the other two thirds?" asked his friend jestingly. "Oh, that enables the doctor to live," was the prompt reply. Thanks.
