Cant'd. <br /> <br />"SNCJWF:AU," <br /> <br />"There was generally much less snowfall over the Arkansas <br />drainage basin in the Colorado area than during January, 1909, but <br />the amounts were generally about up to the average. The monthly <br />amounts ranged from 1 inch to 31.7 inches, and tha average was 9.5 <br />inches." <br /> <br />"General snows occurred over the Kansas area, and the <br />amounts ramged from 3 to 5 inches in the Cimarron Valley, from 5 <br />inches around the heamvaters of the Verdigris to a trace at Inde- <br />pendence, and from 6 inches at the heamvaters of the Neosho to none <br />at Oswego. The average amount was 3.0 inches." <br /> <br />"RIV;';HS" <br /> <br />"The Arkansas River was frozen Over in the western counties <br />of Kansas until the 15th, while in Reno, Sedgwick, Sumner, and Cow- <br />ley counties, the ice was broken up by the rain of the 12th. The Cot- <br />tonwood and Neosho wore frozen over until the 12th and the Verdigris <br />until the 10th." <br /> <br />"Frozen ground over the middle and upper stretches of the <br />ArkansasBasin favored a rapid run-off from precipitation during the <br />first half of the month, which in conjunction with the breaking up <br />of ice caused floods in some parts of Kansas. A rise in the Arkansas <br />at Wichita, Kans., of 5.7 feet between 7 a. m., January 12 and 6 p.m., <br />January 13, caused damage to bridges in that vicinity amounting to <br />about ii4,ooo." <br />
