When snow won't melt

 

Mid-May is generally snowpack-depletion time.. but with snow levels in the 2500-4000 foot range it's led to impressive %normal values! It always helps that 'normal' is down to a few inches or feet at most, so 4640% near Hells Canyon is not quite as massive as it seems. It's reassuring to see such strong values so late in the snowwpack year though.

Our forecast is dry for a week. I'd be hard pressed to find when that last happened. Oh wait.. /processing/ 8 days in Feb had 0.07", 7 with 0.01 in Dec. Close enough.
