Snowpack in the Hood-Sandy-Lower Deschutes basin is now at 94 percent of normal.  That’s within the 90 percent to 110 percent parameter the Oregon Natural Resources Conservation Service Snow Survey labels as “near normal.”  Supervisory Hydrologist Matt Warbritton says significant accumulation in February and March helped bring up snowpack after it had sagged in January.  Most of the state is above 100 percent of normal, with eastern Oregon basins well above their averages.  Warbritton says storm patterns this year favored southern and eastern Oregon basins, areas that have experienced more long-term drought.
