Friday/ rain ☔

There was rain last night and today, a welcome break in the dry weather of the last few weeks.
The snowpacks across Washington State are lagging from their normal levels, but there is still time to make up the deficit. The snowpacks on the mountains peak at around April 1.

Snowpacks (that melt during spring and summer) are a significant source of water for reservoirs around the state, for agriculture, and for hydroelectric power generation.

The map at top left shows the latest snowpack numbers. Worse than where we were in December, and on Jan. 1, but somewhat better than a year ago in Jan. 2024.
