Colorado Snowpack Has Dropped Below Normal
The recent dry spell in the mountains has caused a big drop in snowpack numbers.
DENVER (CBS4) – Last month Summit County had its second snowiest October on record. So far this month has been very different with only paltry amounts of snow in the last couple of weeks.
The recent dry spell in the mountains has caused a big drop in snowpack numbers and for the first time this season the statewide snowpack average has dropped below 100%. This is in large part because of the grim snowpack situation in far southwest Colorado, including most of the San Juan Mountain region where snowpack has dropped to just 19% compared to average for the second week in November.
