Snowpack Well Above Normal

All basins in Oregon are experiencing near normal to well above normal snowpack conditions, with a statewide average of 126 percent as of April 1 according to the latest water supply outlook report released Thursday by the USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service in Oregon.  The Hood, Sandy, and Lower Deschutes basins are at 123 percent of normal.  Three months of cold winter storms built sizeable snowpacks across the state, which remain near normal to above normal despite recent melt losses.  The last time the state had a well above normal snowpack on April 1 was in 2012, when the snowpack was 120 percent of normal.  Last year, Oregon’s snowpack was 101 percent of normal on April 1.  Current conditions are favorable for abundant spring and summer surface water supply.
