at 17.1 Inches of water.
Highest reading ever measur
ed was 17.7 inches of water

C. C, Carmichael, of Hep
pner was snowmoblling in
the Arbuckle area after
the course was measured
and he estimated that an
additional foot of new snow
had fallen.
Snow surveys are made
periodically through winter
and spring under a Federal-State-Private
