Annual precipitation was below normal during 1976, 1979, 1981, and 1983-1985, when drought conditions prevailed (Fig. 2). Winter conditions, characterized by subfreezing temperatures and periodic snowfall, generally prevail from November to March. Average snowfall is about 80 cm, but timing and amounts vary annually; significant accumulations are rare. Winter severity varied widely during 1975-1986 (Fig. 3), based on a modified Leckenby Index 4
