Figure 16. Annual precipitation and annual temperature for the period from 1895 to 1998 for Nevada regions 3 and 4 (see inset map on Figure 13 for the definition of these NOAA regions) characterized by the number of years when precipitation or temperature fell within given ranges. The analogue-based estimates for the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM) are shown as vertical bars. Over the past century there have been years in both regions when precipitation was as great as that reconstructed for the LGM. There have also been a few years when temperatures in region 3 were cool enough to approach those estimated for the LGM.
