Summary
The February 1970 Beaver Beacon prints a weather report headed “December” with a 26-inch snowfall, 17-inch average end-of-month snow depth, and 1.98 inches of precipitation. Its “total this year” figure is also 1.98 inches.
Evidence and limits
The issue’s month label and year-to-date wording are internally difficult to reconcile. This entry preserves both claims and does not silently convert the report into a definitive January or December series.
