Happy New Year! Can you believe it’s already 2019? Now seems like a good time to take a quick look at the current snowpack across the mountain west. It doesn’t seem like anywhere is super snorkel-worthy. In fact most places are below average snowpack – with a handful of exceptions. Hopefully you have lots of snow in your zone!
Let’s take a look at the snow data for the western US compared to normal. Below is the Westwide SNOTEL Current Snow Water Equivalent % of Normal as of January 2, 2019. You can link to the most recent data from the USDA’s Natural Resources Conservation Service here. It’s updated daily throughout the winter.
See how this SNOTEL data compares to past weeks and months in our past Snotel posts.
SnoTel data is one of the best ways to find out where the coverage is above average. Are you already to plan your next skiing adventure? Enjoy the snow. Be safe out there.
