Record Snowfall Found on Vernal Watersheds
Officials note that heavy winter snowfall does not guarantee better growing conditions. Utah records show 1949 as a high snow year with 53.1 inches, while the 21 year period averaged 35.9 inches and 0.5 water content. Snowmelt length affects discharge and groundwater supply, and severe fire seasons can follow heavy winters. Mrs Russell Montgomery and daughter Margie returned to Vernal after a Salt Lake visit.
