Book excerpt: Excerpt from Climatological Data, Utah, Vol. 59: January, 1957 Perhaps the most significant feature of January's weather was precipitation, some times as much as three and more inches in ex cessofaverage, that fell over the drought stricken counties of southern Utah. Excep ting Fruita and Hanksville in Wayne County, all observing stations south of the 4oth parallel reported above average precipita tion, substantially above in most cases. The only parts of the State in which a fair number of stations reported deficient pre cipitation were the north-central and north west. Heavy snowfall built up the mountain snow pack, which in some northern areas ap peared to be about normal for the season, and brought more snow to southern portions than at any time since 1949. In southern Utah, particularly in the southeast, aver age temperatures were considerably higher than long-term mean values, while in the north they were mostly lower. Laketown and Woodruff were and colder respec tively than their long - term averages, and most stations in the northern Uinta Basin were around 4 colder. Along the western border, Garrison was and Ibapah colder than in an average January. Wind movement was below average, though strong winds were associated with a few storms, particularly with that around the 20th when gusts to 50 m.p.h. Did some minor damage to trees and property in the Salt Lake City area. Near-blizzard conditions were report ed ih a few localities, and drifting snow made traffic hazardous especially around the 20th and 26th. On the 20th, heavy snow temporarily Stranded 50 cars in the Snow' Basin area, and during part of the month snowy, icy roads were a traffic nuisance.
