Here is the the first good graph from the pooled 2016-21 surveys. It illustrates the year-by-year variation in significant mosquito problems, worse in high snowpack years, better in low snowpack years. I would have expected that pattern, but the association is more dramatic than I would have expected. In the really low-pack 2020 and 2021 very few had significant skeeter issues and very, very few rated them as severe on my usual 0-5 scale. Matt Bromley is working with me on these and has been a great help.
