Final word on winter snow?

 

So was this a big snow winter, average, or low snow winter?? I know there are folks on this group who monitor snow levels.

Thanks

Close to average on the yearly totals.? The spring melt-off has been faster than normal though.?

For more detail, see . To interpret this, "North" means (roughly) everything north of Tahoe, including that part of the Sierra Nevada, the California Cascades (Lassen and Shasta), and the Klamath Range.? "Central" means Tahoe to Yosemite.? "South" means everything south of Yosemite.
 

Here are the latest plots.? It was essentially a normal year for snowpack, if there is such a thing in California.? Average is probably a more accurate term.? However, it appears the melt is ahead of average.

I’ll try to attach some images of snowpack records I track along the JMT for the FB groups (the first ones are snowpack, the last three are river flow - locations shown on the first map):

It looks like the runoff is far ahead of average, especially in the South, where it is shown at early July level.? From this, might we expect that SOuth San Joaquin ford to be doable sooner than previously expected?
 

Entirely average.?
