REGIONAL NEWS NOTES Continued from Page 12 4 ' ?'>^^^'^'l^ NISCINSIN Very Cold Weather, Deeper Frost Temperatures since the last re- port on December 29, 1967 have been near the zero mark or below much of the time. This drove frost to its deepest level for this time of the year since this report was started in 1962. Much of the frost penetra- tion reported on January 12, 1968 was, twice what it was two weeks previously and in some areas as much as four times. Many areas, but especially those along the west- ern edge of the state, are reporting what would normally be mid-winter frost depths, according to funeral directors and cemetery caretakers reporting to the Wisconsin Statis- tical Reporting Service. Deepest penetrations reported to date are 66 inches at Barron, 50 inches at Iron River, 48 at LaCrosse and Amery, 40 inches at Ellsworth, and 36 inches at Chippewa Falls, Superior and Whitehall. A year ago this time the average frost depth in the state was inches but this year it is inches. Frost depths this year are also much more uniform than a year ago. Snow cover over the state this year is much lighter than a year ago. This year the southern two- thirds of the state has from 1 to 6 inches of snow as compared with a 4 to 18 inch cover a year ago. In the northwest area a year ago depths of 12 to 36 inches of snow were not uncommon while this year the average is only 3 to 8 inches. Cold, wintry weather prevailed in Wisconsin during the first two weeks of January. Minimum tem- peratures were below zero in most areas daily during the 12-day period from December 30 through January 10 with maximum temperatures 2A also remaining well below zero on a few cold, windy days. Lows in the —30 to —40 degree range occurred on several days in scattered locations in northwestern and central counties. After January 10th the cold moderated markedly with tem- peratures nearing the freezing mark. Precipit
