From The Denver Post:

Heading into March, Colorado’s snowiest month, snowpack has improved by nearly 10 percent across most of southern Colorado the past two weeks, according to the Natural Resources Conservation Service, which conducts the snow measurements. Southern Colorado is near or above the 30-year average for snowpack, but the state is at 90 percent, as the rest of the stag lags in snow this season.

The South Platte River basin, which includes Denver, is at just 83 percent of average, but that’s the best in northern Colorado. The North Platte River basin is at 77 percent and the shared basin of Yampa and White rivers is at 76 percent as of Thursday.
