Abstract

A high degree of correlation is shown to exist between the mean water equivalent of the snow pack on March 1 at snow courses in the Snake River region and the mean annual precipitation at nearby precipitation stations. Attempts were made to improve the correlation by introducing various additional parameters, but the resulting changes were not significant. In attempting to introduce length of snow‐accumulation season as a parameter, a relation between elevation, latitude, and average beginning date of continuous winter snow cover with at least one inch of snow on the ground was developed.
