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.

EXCEPTIONAL HEATWAVE BREWING FOR NEXT WEEK IN COLORADO
A powerful ridge is about to park itself over the West next week -- stronger and closer to Colorado than anything we’ve seen in a long time.

“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.”

#Drought news February 5, 2026: As of March 3, snow water equivalent is less than 70 percent of normal across the Central Rockies, less than 50% in the Four Corners region #snowpack coyotegulch.blog/2026/03/05/d...
According to The National Snow and Ice Data Center the Snow-covered area in February across the western United States was 62 percent below average, at 387,000 square kilometers (149,000 square miles), ranking last in the 26-year satellite record.

Ominous lack of snowpack in the West.

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

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.

California started the new year with a promising #snowpack, but a warm, dry January brought the #SierraNevada snowpack down to just 59% of average water content. Fire managers are watching closely to see what this week brings. @weatherwest.bsky.social
