Mountains Get Snow, More Needed Next Two Months; Much Of State In Drought

The Cascade Mountains got snow in recent weeks but Hydrologist Scott Oviatt with the Natural Resources Conservation Service says the Upper Deschutes - Crooked River Basin still needs more. He says a portion of the basin is still classified in extreme drought. Oviatt also says 90-per cent of Oregon is in some drought category. He  says snowpack in the Cascades looks okay for this time of year but says the region needs a series of storms to move in and drop more snow in the mountains this month and next.
