Deflated snowpack levels are beginning to rise again in Colorado after nearly a month of stagnation…A cycle of heavy snow storms in November sent snowpack levels surging well above normal, particularly in the state’s southern regions. But as conditions dried after Thanksgiving, levels flatlined…As of mid-December, statewide snowpack levels have tracked below the 30-year median and even began to approach historical lows for this time of year. But a smattering of storms in the High Country since Christmas have begun to reverse the trend…As of Friday [December 27, 2024], statewide snowpack stood at 87% of the 30-year median, according to data from the Natural Resources Conservation Service. The Arkansas River Basin, which encompasses south-central Colorado, is the only basin in the state with snowpack currently above 100%.
