Majority of State Shows Record Low Snowpack

The latest snowpack levels show 76 percent of the state's monitoring sites are at the lowest snowpack levels on record.

 

This year more than half of all snowpack measurements across the state recorded bare ground on April first.

 

Snw survey supervisors say at this point in the season, there is no doubt that the majority of streams and rivers in Oregon will have below normal flows this year, due to lack of snow accumulation.

 

Precipitation since October in the form of rain has been near normal because of our warm temperatures.  But our lack of snowpack will mean stream flows this summer will be well below normal.
