PHONE 7711 OGDEN, UTAH, FRIDAY Jany 6th 1956 NO MATTER HOW IT’S SAID, WEATHER’S FINE SALT LAKE CITY (AP) -- The Salt Lake City office of the Weather Bureau wasn’t waxing rhapsodic today when its morning forecast for northern Utah and southern Idaho and northeastern Nevada, said “unusually fine weather.” It was applying a new terminology to an unusual weather situation. Forecasters explained the Weather Bureau’s “new look” in forecast language is intended to be more descriptive and colorful. A two-page glossary of terms issued by the bureau for guidance of forecasters suggests the use of “unusually fine” or “clear and bright” on days when the skies will be clear with the sun shining. Previously such a forecast would have been simply “clear.” For the second successive day Salt Lake City set a new high temperature yesterday of 55 degrees, breaking the old record of 54 for any Jan. 5, set in 1930. Ogden’s high yesterday was 49 degrees and minimum early today was 28 degrees. Provo’s temperature climbed to a top of 63 degrees yesterday. January 7-8 Sat.-Sun. Another beautiful day I have been home all day except for brief walk to see Mrs Rolink and Mrs Alex Bienne two dear old ladies both past 85 y/o Cleone and Royal called also Myrene and Dr Jr and Blanche Recd photograph from Thair -- good Have read some.
