Colorado snowpack levels appear to be in good shape after a snowy January. Recent moisture has also improved drought conditions in the state
Statewide, snowpack was at 133% of median levels compared to the 1991-2020 period and all but one of Colorado’s river basins are seeing a big boost in snowpack levels from January snowfall.
The winter storm that swept through the state this weekend, bringing with it dangerously cold temperatures, dumped more than three feet of snow in some parts of the central and northern mountains. The San Miguel-Dolores-Animas-San Juan river basin was at 142% of median on Monday and the Laramie and North Platte river basins were at 137% of median.
But the news isn’t all good for southeast Colorado. The Arkansas River basin sits at 84% of median or 5.6 inches of snow-water equivalent.
