Historic Snowpack Numbers

UPDATE 4/24:  From a comment a site with some important graphics on current snow levels in North America. 

I have never linked to this local fish wrapper but maybe once or twice but this article is full of information and very interesting.

What is important to know is that all this snow is still up there and also for the most part what is at lower elevations is still here as well.

It's gotta come down and when it does things will get more than interesting.

LTFO!

The snow at the summit of Buffalo Pass never has been deeper than it was Friday morning.Mike Gillespie, Colorado Snow Survey supervisor for the Natural Resources Conservation Service in Denver, confirmed that the snow depth at the Tower measuring site stood at 180 inches, or 15 feet, setting a record for measured snow depths there that go back to the mid-1960s.

“Mountain crews have been up top over the past week, with one individual saying that the summit stake read 160 inches” Tuesday, ski area spokesman Mike Lane said Friday. “Larry Pierce took a photo of the summit stake measuring 149 inches yesterday before any more snow fell overnight. I don’t think we have ever seen snow that high on the Buddy statue. I know I’ll never doubt tapping or touching Buddy’s statue for good luck and good snow ever again.”
