MARCH, 1912. MONTHLY WEATHER REVIEW. 425 CLIMATOLOGICAL DATA FOR MARCH, 1913. DISTRICT No. 9, COLORADO VALLEY. FREDEBICK H. BFC~NDENBUEG, District Editor. GENERAL SUMMARY. March in the Colorado Basin was cold and stormy. was much reater than the normal ruary, immediately preceding. The excess was most ronounced on the southern watersheds, the fall on the L t t l e Colorado, Gila, and Colorado proper having been more than double the total precipitation for the months named. The conditions were so much out of the ordi- nary as to deserve a somewhat detailed description of the causes that brought about such abnormalities of weather. Whether it was the lack of energy on the part of the low pressure areas that were central m some part of the dis- trict and reenforced from time to time from the Pacific during the first nine days of the month or the presence of wintry conditions on the eastern slope of the Conti- nental Divide in the form of a succession froni the north Colorado Basin per cent of t % e combined amounts for December, January, and Feb- preceded and gave movement. By the of the depression had southern Colorado, this being the first time during the month that more than a portion of a depression had successfully reached the eastern slope in the United States without passing throu h Mexico. The storm of the 10th and 11th was tion occurred; at a number of stations in Arizona, %ew Mexico, and Utah the heaviest fall of the month occurred. This storm had scarcely assed eastward of the Con- coast of Capornia. By the afternoon o the 12th the center had reached Nevada, and 12 hours later i t was in eastern Utah, with its front spreading southeastward, only to be divided on the 14th by a high ressure area that moved southward along the eastern s P ope of the Con- thental Divide. In this instnnce that part of the depres- sion left in the Southwest did not endure long, owing to advancing high ressure from California, which gave the ones in the month. On the 19th, conditions rapidly be- came unsettled under the influence of a depression that formed in Utah and Nevada. This depression, like those of the first decade, remained west of the Con- tinental Divide for days, its progress eastward being blocked by hi h pressure on the eastein slope. Coinoi- of the 23d, another depression was in progress of develop- ment in Nevada, but precipitation did not become remar a able with respect to the area in which preci ita- tinental Divide before mot I: er depression a peared off the P district several a ays of relatively fair weather, tho only dent with the i.l ling up of this depression during the night gei>eral until several days later. This storm moved southeastward, reaching central Texas during the after- noon of the 27th. The respite was short, for durin the art of the district, with loops extending to southeastern kevada. The changes in pressure were rapid, and within 24 hours the pressure distribution was agarn similar to that which prevailed at the beginning of the month, an anticyclonic area from the north movmg southeastward blocking for a time the progress of the low across the mountains. In Arizona, Utah, and Colorado the at- tending precipitation was not so heavy as earlier in the month, but it covered a large area. night of the 28th a depression formed in the nort a ern TENPERATURE. The mean of the 141 stations reporting was 41.5, or 2.6O below the normal. The mean for March, 1911, was 48.3O. The highest monthly mean was 65.0° at Aztec, Ariz., and the lowest, 13.5, st Corona, Colo. The first seven days of the month were warmer than the normal in the southern part of the district, but in the central and northern parts temperatures above the normal continued throughout the first decade. The reiiiainder of the nionth was colder than the nornial except near the end of the second decade. In western Wyoming the highest temperatures occurred near the end of the month, but elsewhere generally on the 18th and 19th, although at a number of stations in Colo- rado the highest temperatures were reached on the loth, and in Arizona on the 3d and 5th. The lowest tem- peratures occurred principally cluring the first half of the month. Temperatures of zero or lower were observed in the Wyoming area and at several stations in Colorado, Utah, and Arizona. Details of teniporature are summarized in the following tabie : I Temperature.

MARCH, 1912 on all drabage areas ; in Arizona marked excesses occurred , and in parts of Colorado the month waa the wettest March of record. The amount of precipitation exceeded that of last October, the month of disastrous floods. There was this difference, however: I n October most of the fall occurred in two days in the form of rain, while the pre- cipitation in March was principally in the form of snow that fell almost daily over the greater part of the district. I n Colorado there was no clay without precipitation; in Utah and Arizona, only two days without; and in New Mexico, only three days without precipitation in some part of the area. The greatest monthly atnount was 11.64 mchcs at Uncompahgre Plateau, Colo., and the least, 0.07 inch, a t Hermanes, N. Mex. Monthly snowfalls of 30 inches or more occurred at one statmion. in Wyoming, 27 in Colorado, 4 in eastern Utah, and 2 in Arizona. Tho maximum fall, 102 inches, occurred a t Uncompahgre station, Montrose County, Colo. The average precipitation and departures from the normal on the different watersheds are given in the fol- lowing table: The average number of days with 0.01 inch or more precipitation was 7 in western Wyoming; 15 in western Colorado; 11 in eastern Utah; 7 in western New Mexico; 7 in Arizona; and 10 in southeastern Nevada. For the district as a whole the average was 10,days. MISCELLANEOUS. The amount of sunshine was considerably below the normal. At Grand Junction it was 50 per cent of the possible; Durango, 58; Phoenix, 73; and Yuma, 80. The relative humidity was materially higher than the average. The following are the values : Grand Junction, 67: Duraiigo, 67; Phoenis, 66; and Yunia, 40 per cent. SNOWFALL I N THE MOUNTAINS. Western Il>toming.-The siiowfnll was above the nor- mal and was reported well packed. The amount of snow a t the headwaters of tlie west,ern tribut,aries of the Green is said to be the heaviest in years. Western Colorado.-On the drainage of the Pampa and White the snowfall was close to the average; on the other watersheds, except in Summit County, in the upper reaches of the Grand, the snowfall waa unusually heavy. Large drifts are common, and numerous destructive snow- slides occurred in the southwestern counties. I n general the snow contains a large percentage of moisture, and while fairly well packed, there is a general absence of layers of crust, and melting will be ra id. At the end of altitude 8,700 feet 43 inches, was 17 inches greater; for the Gunnison, 8,800 feet 36 inches, or 7 inches greater; for the Yampa and White, 7,900 feet, 40 inches, or 21 inches greater; and for the San Juan and Dolores, 7,900 feet 18 inches, or 2 inches greater than a t the correspond- ing date last year. Emtern Utah.--There was a material increase in tlic! amount of moisture stored in the mountains. The ground is well saturated and, the prospects for irrigation water is March the average depth on tlie Gran B watershed, average -- much improved. Western New Mexico.-The San Juan Valley and north- western part of the State had a the lower country and a good snowfall in outlook for early water, although tains. Much soil moisture hns scarcity unless good rains continue. Arizona.-The snowfall in the mountain districts of thc north and north-central portions of the State was unusu- ally heavy. TEMPERATURES INJURIOUS TO PEACHES, APPLES, AND PEARS I N VARIOUS STAQES OF DEVELOPMENT. A committee a ointed by the Fruit Growers Associa- tion of the Oranfballey, Colorado, to advise owers in reference to smudging and to render them a possible assistance in the matter of supplying volunteer he p, etc., made an investigation of temperatures injurious to peaches, apples, and pears in various stages of develop- ment, and report as follows: Table ahowing at what temperature smudging is neeessay in the variima stages of developinent of peach buds.
