The average values for the three years indicate that substan- 

 tially the same snow fall obtains over all of the highland regions 

 of the State, with some exceptional cases of very heavy local 

 amounts. The latter are found in the southwesitern counties, 

 especially in the vicinity of Lake Erie and in the tract which has 

 previously been described as including portions of Lewis, Oneida 

 and Madison counties, where the total snow fall is generally the 

 greatest to be found east of the Rocky Mountains. As stated in 

 the preceding pages, the sioutheasitern highlands are subject to a 

 heavy precipitation in winter, and owing to the low mean tem-
