snowpack

Hydrologists are calling Montana's first snowpack report of the year “a tale of two snowpacks.” There's plenty of snowpack in the high mountain ranges, but lower elevation areas are below average.

Montana’s snowpack is mostly normal following soggy weather conditions last month, but more snow is needed in the mountains.

Montana’s latest snowpack report shows February brought steady snow accumulation, but more is needed, and the clock is ticking.

Montana’s winter snowpack is growing after a lackluster start to the season, but remains below normal across most of Montana.

Montana’s early snow season is off to a slow start, but it's too soon to be worried, hydrologist says.

Montana’s latest snowpack report is out. There’s more moisture on the ground but it’s still below normal. Experts say there’s plenty of room for improvement and the clock is ticking.

Consistent and mostly above normal precipitation and snowpack means the statewide water supply outlook is either maintaining or improving across most of the state.

The Milk River basin’s snowpack in north-central Montana sits at 250% of normal. That’s a major shot in the arm for local farmers and ranchers who have endured years of devastating drought.

Above-normal precipitation last month boosted snowpack levels across most of the state. The current snowpack gives experts some early insight into what the spring snowmelt might look like.

Montana’s snowpack decreased statewide following January’s relatively dry conditions.
