Snowpack in the mountains of the Hood, Sandy, and Lower Deschutes basin remains well under average, but it was helped by snowfall at higher elevations over the last nine to ten days. As of Monday, the snow water equivalent in the basin was listed at 58 percent of average. Natural Resources Conservation Service Snow Survey Supervisor Scott Oviatt says February will be a key month for how the season ends up, with what are normally the two biggest months of the year for snowpack having past. Precipitation since October 1 in the basin is at 107 percent of normal.
