16-Foot Snow Pack Seen
In Crater Lake Park Area
Almost 46 feet of snow has
fallen at Crater Lake park
headquarters the past season,
building up a 16-foot snow
pack, according to Supt. Tom
Williams.
The snow is "money in the
bank" for farmers, loggers
and, sportsmen as stored
water for next summer's use,
Williams said.
Unoccupied building are
humps in the snow field, al
though they are uncovered by
bulldozers two or three times
each winter.
The two snow survey
courses are gauged monthly
by park rangers in coopera
tion with the Soil Conserva
tion Service. On March 29,
the course at Annie Spring
had an average snow depth
of 137 inches and contained
54.1 inches of water, 1.3 la
ches above the long time aver
age. At park headquarters, on
the same date, 174 inches of
mow contained 72.7 inches of
water, 8.3 inches above nor
mal. A record snow pack 'of
18 feet was measured in
March, 1952.
Winter Still Hers
Although spring 'is arriv
ing in the valleys, winter is
still in progress at Crater
Lake, and will be for some
time. April averages over 47
Inches of snowfall and has
produced as much as 143 in
ches (1948). May usually sees
about 24 inches of new snow
but in 1933 experienced 103
Inches.
The average winter snow
fall is 618 inches, or about 52
feet. The record high, in 1932
1933, was 879 inches, or more
than 73 ft. Conversely, the
next year produced only 382
inches, or less than 32 feet.
Visitors to the park at this
season drove a road that is a
15 to 20 ft. deep channel
through the snow. The road
is open to the rim of Crater
Lake where the lake may be
viewed in its winter glory.
Light meals, hot drinks and
curios are available at the r:'
on week ends.
