Summary

The April–May 1978 Beaver Beacon prints March and April weather tables with monthly temperature, precipitation, and snowfall figures.

Evidence and limits

This is a source-bounded local weather report, not a complete daily series or calibrated station archive.

Sources

  1. Reports March’s 43-degree high, -1 low, .10 inches of precipitation, and 1.0 inches of snowfall, and April’s 63-degree high, 18 low, 2.27 inches of precipitation, and 1.0 inches of snowfall. It is a local newspaper table, not a calibrated station archive or complete daily series. The holding institution's portal restricts automated access; the archive holds a copy of this issue and can provide it on request.
