Summary

The March 1978 Beaver Beacon prints another January weather table, with a 31-degree high, -5-degree low, .33 inches of precipitation, and 13.0 inches of snowfall.

Evidence and limits

The figures differ from the January table printed in February 1978. Both are preserved as source reports pending the underlying station record.

Sources

  1. Prints a January table with a 31-degree high, -5-degree low, 24.2-degree average high, 5.2-degree average low, .33 inches of precipitation, and 13.0 inches of snowfall. These figures differ from the January table printed in February 1978; both source reports are retained rather than reconciled without the underlying station log. The holding institution's portal restricts automated access; the archive holds a copy of this issue and can provide it on request.
