WEDNESDAY. APRIL 18. 19S2 Regional Roundup by Clave) Twitched Mail Tribune. Regional Editor What a difference a few thousand, or even just a few hundred, leet can make. A few weeks ago we dis cussed some of the oddities in weather conditions one can find in southern Oregon-how one can in winter, leave the Rogue Valley in sunshine, go through a bliz zard andor fog on the Siskiyou summit and then come back down into sunshine in California, passing through a little rain on the way. It constantly intrigues me how the temperature can can vary 10 or 20 degrees in just a few miles, or how it can rain or snow in one location but not in another location nearby. One of the times snow fell on Medford this past winter, it only rained in Grants Pass. The snow line ended abruptly just west of Rogue River. Yet Medford is only about 400 feet higher than Grants Pass. 1 - WHAT WARMING HUT? Yes, somewhere in there is a building. This is how the warming hut at Crater Lake ap peared a couple of weeks ago neatly buried in quite a few ic.et of snow, except for the parking area which is kept clear. A good illustration of the effect of higher elevation on weather conditions can be observed by taking a trip to Crater Lake in the early spring. I did about two weeks ago. I left the floor of the valley on a sunny, 1 hot day when the ground was already getting so dry It was cracking in places. My family and I stopped for a picnic lunch along side of the road Just north of Prospect. We picked a good spot, because just a few ' miles farther up the road the roadside areas were all covered by a fool or more of snow. As we progressed on into Crater Lake national Park the drifts by the side of the road gradually increased in height. Yet there was very little sensation of cimbing in 1 elevation until the last couple of miles up to the rim. 1 Amid the tremendous blanket of snow in that area It teemed difficult to believe that there was no snow at I all just 40 miles away and that a mere 80 miles away 1 the ground was dry and cracked. i Grandomiher at 32 j From Katherine Chapman, our Hornbrook corrcs ' pondent, comes word about a 32-year-old grandmother, j Mr. and Mrs. John Zanotlo of Hornbrook became I grandparents for the first time when on March 31 a daughter was born to Mr. and Mrs. Don Kreulzer of Yrcka.
