A comparison of summer preciptiation on the plains to the previous winter April 1 <br /> <br />snowpack show a very small correlation. <br /> <br />Snowpack and streamflow do group into periods of dry and wet years to the extent of <br /> <br /> <br />precipitation. They are often best described as dry or wet individual years. Winter of 1977 and <br /> <br /> <br />1981 are the driest since many of the snow measurements were started. The relatinship ofapril1 <br /> <br /> <br />snowpack to streamflow has correlation near 0.7 - 0.8 west of the Continental Divide. The South <br /> <br />Platte and Arkansas streamflow do not correlate well to April 1 snowpack because these t ".(\ <br /> <br />rivers respond to spring rain since spring is the wet season near the Front Range. <br /> <br />The analysis of this study did not identifY significant trends in precipitation or streanlf10w <br /> <br />over a period of the past century. <br /> <br />28 <br />
