THAN LAST YEAR
. Eight Inches more water Is
now in the snow-pack at Crater
Lake than at this time last year,
This was the finding of R. A
Work and W. T. Frost, both of
the Soil Conservation Service
and Oregon Agricultural Experi
ment Station, while making the
regular monthly snow surveys
in the Crater Lake area.
The trip was made in and out
of the park in record time by
means of the Tucker Sno-cat
which enabled the crew to travel
the 16 miles from snow line to
Park Headquarters in two hours
time. The importance of determ
ining the water content of the
snow rather than measuring the
depth only is clearly shown by
the fact that the water content
of the park snows has increased
one inch during the past month
while the snow depth has de
creased nearly 30 inches.
Snow surveys made at Annie
Spring this month showed a wa
ter content of 37.2 inches as com
pared with 36.1 inches last
month. Snow depth at this sta
tlon is now 84.9 inches as com
pared with 113.8 inches meas
ured last month.
