With no big blasts of snow this week our overall snowpack numbers have trickled down a bit from the big boost last weeks cold wave produced. Last weeks numbers shot up after feet of snow dropped on the Colorado mountains at the same time the eastern plains were in the deep freeze.
That helped many areas of northern and western Colorado to shoot up into the 90% to 100% range for a few days. Southern Colorado did rose up but, still lagged behind with percentiles only getting into the 70% to 85 % ranges. Still overall a big improvement. As a whole though the entire state still did not quite get up to the ideal100% for the statewide average. That number pushed up to 94%.
This week the new snowpack numbers on January 24th tended to drop down overall with no big snowstorms developing across the Rockies. The only area that held on to its favorable snowpack is the Upper Colorado Basin with 101%! Most other areas of the state dropped off by a few points.
