<br />, <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />WES.N WEATHER CONSULTANTS, INC. <br /> <br />The 1988-89 winter season got off to a fast start in November with <br />precipitation amounts significantly above normal. However with <br />precipitation amounts in December lagging somewhat behind average, the <br />early half of the winter snow course readings throughout the area averaged <br />91% of normal on January I, 1989 and fell slightly to just under 85% of. <br />normal by February 1, 1989. With a few heavier snowfall events in <br />February, the snowpack increased to about 95% of average on March 1, <br />1989. March's weather activity increased somewhat, but the <br />precipitation amounts were significantly below normal leaving the <br />snow pack at only 83% of normal on April I, 1989 at the end of the <br />operation season. <br /> <br />During the period November I, 1988 - March 1, 1989, WESTERN WEATHER <br />CONSUL T ANTS, I NC. seeded twenty-f ive se lected weather events covering <br />portions of thirty-nine days. The operations for the Central Colorado <br />Mountains program totaled 1,572.75 hours of generator seeding time which <br />dispensed 9,370.0 grams of silver iodide. <br /> <br />The following table lists the individual seeding events and gives the <br />number of generators operated, the ski areas seeded, the total number of <br />seeding hours, the seeding rate, and the total output of silver iodide in <br />grams. This table is followed by a presentation of precipitation events to <br />seeding events. This presentation is provided for informational purposes <br />only; no Quantitative statistical evaluation of the seeding effects from <br />this program will be attempted. ' <br />
