Due to the high level of temperature which pre-vailed most of the month the great proportion of precipi-tation came in the form of rain, while snowfall aver-aged hardly more than a third of the normal Decemberamount. Runoff was much above normal and ground waterlevels rose to well above average in five of the six NewEngland states; in Vermont, excessive runoff did not reachthat of the rest of the Section and ground water held atlow levels. A consideration of the year as a whole shows that thetrend toward higher temperatures was accentuated in1953, particularly in the winter months when the trendwas especially marked and further emphasized by thesnowfall deficiency. - />-^ Northport. n:y -I ^^^^/ Al /r,n Artl Jun« July Auguil Septemlxr Oclob« « Dwambn Anaiul Slabon 1 • 1 £ 1 • 1 9 1 s 1 « « 1 . 1 1 . 1 1 . •1 •1 & 1 ^ 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 a 1 1 1 1 1 1 • !_ 1 i 1 i 1 e & J 2. & & J & 1 & 1 & 1 & 1 1 1 & J ( 1 1 J 1 1 1 CONNtCTlCJT COLCMESTtR 49,7 72,5 .8 67,8 6,5 J1,3N 4. 7.^ 47,3 .7 - ,8 67,9M - .9 63, OM .7 5,6 CftEAM HILL 7, 2,9 45,6 .6 68,5 7,5 0AN9URY }?.<. 69,3 FALLS VILLAGE 3^.2 6,^ 3,8 2,2 59,5 - .4 67,4 - 61,3 ,0 .6 .8 33.
