Mountain snowpack...


in the southern Rockies is well above normal, but it is pretty dismal elsewhere, especially in the Pacific Northwest (map as of 1 April 2010). In the La Sals, shown above (click to enlarge), snow depth for this time of year is running about 110 - 129 % of normal.

The mountain snowpack...

in the northern Rockies seems rather unremarkable right now, especially after the record snowfall in the area in December 2008.

Further south, however, it does look like there may be high runoff in the Colorado and Rio Grande River basins when the spring snow melt occurs.
