Snow pack should receive quite the bump after today's storm

[drcalderwood]

Northern Utah and Wyoming are getting pounded with snow right now. We should see some of those drainage basins get a decent bump in those totals. Green River basin should see a much needed increase. I woke up this morning at my house in Midway with over a foot of fresh snow overnight and it's still dumping.


Check back at this map tomorrow and I suspect we'll see every basin over 100%, with the exception of San Juan.

San Juan basin is catching up fast! We’ve been getting lots of snow. High country is getting deeeeep!

We travelled to Albuquerque at the end of last week, and I don't think I've ever seen the ground white in Gallup, NM. It rained in ABQ Friday morning. Saw lots of cars parked close to the highway because none of their driveways are graveled, plenty of mud in the San Juan drainage.

reporting to 106% as of this morning.

I was hoping for 110-115, which we may still see as the report sometimes trail the storms by a day or two. But, even just 100% year makes me happy and seemingly puts us above the upper limit of the most likely inflow from the BOR last report.

Snow pack for the LP drainage is still 105%... hope it stays that way or more. We've got more pack than at the same time last year, but the lake is 40' lower from the same time last year! I'll be reeeeal happy if it's 3600' when I get there May 31, but as long as the CRC is open I'll take it.

A good set of storms headed into the Rockies, good news! And Weather Channel's forecast map for February has wetter than average for western U.S., more good news.

Not many things make me happier this time of
year than to see it snowing in the mountains.

Me too but I wish I could be your neighbor, I am too close to the mountains anymore! The darn snow and cold aren’t as much fun as they used to be.
