GENERAL CLIMATOLOGICAL CONDITIONS.
The weather during Jnnuary, 191 1, was quite wnriii
uncl in marked contrast to Jmuttry, 1910, wliicli inontli
wits one of the coldest on record for the Great Basin. There was niucli niore precipitation during this month
than in January, 1910, but the xecipitittion R I ~S gen-

Tlie teniperature of tlie district 13s :t wliole averaged

temperatures occurred in tlie irotectecl valleys of Utnli,
Tlie monthly means itt tlie various stations ranged froin
1'7.4O at Cokeville, Wyo., to 52.8" at Jean, in southern
Nevada. All but two statioiis in this district re ortecl inontlily
ranged froin 1" below normal at Golcondn, her., to
'7.9' above normal at Ely, Nev. There was a wide variation of temperature clepnrtures
throughout the district, stations quite near one nnotlier reported niean temperatures varying greatly from their
normals. The month beg:m very cold, the wentlier being influenced by rtn are21 of liigli pressure wliicli per-
sisted over tlie district for several (1:Lj-s but with tliinin-
isliiiig intensity. I n the Iditlio and Utali areas tlie lowest temperatures were usunlly recorded on tlie ?cl and 3tl.
After the 3cl warmer weather prevniled everywhere until
the 15th, when colder wettther set in, ctnd temperatures remained low until the 23d. During tlie remainder of
the inontli warmer weather prevniletl, and temper. 't t ures were generally much above normal, the highest tempera-

The lowest tenipernture was - 3 6 O , at Wonclruff, Utali,

PRECIPITATION.
Tlie precipitation averaged 2.96 inches, wliich is ctlniost
three times tlie norm:tl amount, and about twice its niuch
its fell during January last year. The precipitation cliart showed the usual irregulari-
ties in the distribution of moisture. The total amounts
at tlie several stntions ranged froin a trace at hlina, Nev., to 33.33 inches at Deer Park, Val. The largest, nmounts fell in tlie e&-central California section,
where tlie lowest iiioiit,lily amount w\'its 7.75 inches, Lit
Markleeville, nnd tlie highest WAS 33.33 inches nt Deer
Park. Very nearly every station reported amounts above
norinnl, the greatest plus de artures occurring in west
t&s in Utali. The few minus departures occurred in central Nevada :mil in the Oregon mea.
Very little precipitittion fell during the first eight days
of tlie niontli, but during the remctinder of the montli
precipitation was quite miiforiiily distributed. In tlie
California area where such large amounts fell precipita-
tion occurred during the periods of 9-15th, 19-20th, and 23cl-3lst. Tlie largest 24-hour itmount w w 4.80 inches, a t Boca
Cal., on tlie 11th.
Regarding the precipitation in Nevada, tlie section
director at Reno says:

NOTES.
I n February, 190'7, when considerable snow lay in the
mountains of the Great Basin, a few clays of warm, southerly winds, with copious rains, caused tremendous
floods, particularly in sou them Utah and Nevada; and
while improvements were comparatively few in those
sparsely settled regions, the damage to radroacl and other
property amounted to several hundred thousand dollars.
112 hlONTHL1- WEATHER REVIEW. JANUARY, 19 1 1
During November aiid December, 1909, unusually cold,
stormy weather prevailed, which deposited deep snow
over all the Great Basin, even the extreme southern lor- tion, aiid s ireail a white blanket over vast regions w 1 iicli
a t the close of December an active barometric depression, entering far down on the Pacific coast, caused a few clays
of warm winds over this snow-laden region and brought
heavy general rains about New Tear's eve. That night ani1 the following day, about W,000,000 worth of rail- road e uipment was swept away in one of tlie worst
direct and resultant, of no less than $5,000,000. The most recent desert-region floods occurred a t the close of January, 191 1, a t which time weather conditions
in the West were quite similar to those shown on the
weather maps durin the flood times of 190'7 and loo?,
cally devoid of snow a t the lower levels a i d there was
very little a t the higher places, the damage due to this flood would not have been confined to a few hundred
thousand dollars ancl to crippling commerce but a few days.
Probably the greatest loser in this flood, as in irevious
roacl, whose track was wrecked a t various places in the narrower canyons of southeasteiii Nevath. In this
region stand the highest mountains withi the iini of the
Great Basin, and these were carrying some snow when the warmth and rains came. While the railroad track is now
placed far above canyon streani floods, it was broken in various places by hillside washes, which carried away
some of the newer embankments. The cleartli of snow for feeding the floods ke t the, high-water line several

In middle and northern Utah, where mountain snow
was more plentiful, this warm, rainy s ell produced
day or so and causing several snowslides in the inhabited
regions, in one of which four miners lost their lives. Rain
fell prtwt'ically all c l a y January 30, 1911, on the deep snows of the Wasatcli Mountains in the neighborhood of
Alta and Briglit80ii, Salt Lake C'ounty, and snowslides of appalling proportions occurred in several places. The
most disastrous slide demolished a bunkhouse belonging to blie Coalition Mines C'o., in which a number of men were
sleeping, at 5.30 a. m., January 31. Several of these men were injured and four were killed.
The Malad Valley Branch of the Oregon Short Line Railroad \vas under water in one place just above
Brighrtm city for a distance of about 1,000 feet, and
while t8he water receded within an hour, the track was too soft for travel until February 1. Several small
streams in that locality overflowed and roads, bridges, and some small builtlmgs were considerably damaged.
The Brigham city waterworks line was broken, and the
city was without good c.ulinary water for several days. The numerous electric power transmission lines travers-
ing northerii Utah were consitlerably ciippled temporarily but the clmiage wits soon repaired.
The track of t,he Oregon Short Line Railroad a t Kim- port, between McC'ammon and Montpelier, Idaho, was
impassable for a few days, necessitating the detour of
trams for the Northwest via Ogden, Utah. January 39, 191 1, a landslide in Provo Canyon covered
about 500 feet of the railroad tracks of the branch line of the Denver C ! Rio Grande to Heber, Utah, to a depth of about 50 feet in places, clelaying traffic several clays.
Practically all the streams out of the Wasatch Moun-
tain to the west were on a ranipage for a day or so, but as
the water had been low, aiid very little or no ice had formed, there was little jamming ancl eroding, and the
floods soon subsided. However, the washing along the
Ogden C'anyon electric railroad was such that it was
thought best to suspend traffic on that line until spring.
