Consideration of the <br />previous 4 months cumulative moisture similarly places 1998 somewhat below <br />the middle of the range of variation over the past six years (Figure 4). Figure <br />5 indicates that while 1997 was, a very cool year, distinctly cooler than any <br />year since 1986, 1998 was more nearly average. <br />Literature Cited <br />Beetle, A.A. 1970.
