At the conclusion of November 1931, Robert M. Cook, editor and publisher of the Lassen Mail embraced the early winter weather conditions. Cook reported that it had been cold and snowy all month, even a light snowfall on Thanksgiving. On November 22, the morning was a brisk nine degrees. Because of the cold temperatures and heavier than usual snowfall in the mountains, Cook thought that was the ideal scenario—the. solid frozen snowpack would be ideal next spring/summer to insure water for irrigation.
