WA's recent, big snow storm helped #snowpack in the PacNW, but didn't bring us back to normal. Western WA is still below 70%. Oregon and California are way worse.

#Whitebarkpine🌲 CUT-OFF MOUNTAIN?
The past 10 yrs—on foot or bike or skis—
I’ve noticed an increase of the DRYING OUT
of the top 10cm of soil, of vernal streams &
springs below 2400 to 1000m.
Where #SNOWPACK once lingered till
the end of JULY, it‘s now gone by
the end of MAY.

Dry pasture with cattle and mountains in the background in Madison County, Montana, on March 8, 2026.
Screenshot of the Condition Monitoring Observer Reports app showing the location of the report in southwest Montana. For more information, visit go.unl.edu/cmor_drought.
This week’s CMOR photo is from Madison County, #Montana.
“Winter seems to have missed us this year. Current #snowpack is trending at the lowest level for the Ruby River Basin since records of SNOTEL sites began in 1981.”

Snow that melts too early doesn't just disappoint skiers — it dries out forests during the hottest months and fuels #wildfires. This year, a warm January drained the Sierra Nevada's #snowpack to only 59% of its average water content, raising alarm bells for climate scientists. #FireSeason

We didn't chase the storm — we built the system. 🌨️🏔️
7 SNOTEL stations. Mt. Rainier. 8AM daily. Fully automated snowpack pipeline in Python + R.
This is what chasing looks like in GIS. 🌪️❄️

Snowpack acts as the West’s most important natural reservoir.
It stores water through winter and releases it in summer. This year, much of the western US faces a significant deficit.
From the air, you can see where the snow should be — and where it isn’t.
