snowpack

After weeks of dry weather, the West Coast is bracing for a storm that promises to shake things up — and the mountains might just get a fresh blanket of snow.

Oregon's snowpack is shaping up to be one for the record books, and not for good reasons.

With February here, many Washington mountains are looking a bit bare. Snowpack numbers tell a story of concern for farmers and the water supply.

With winter still in full swing, concerns about snowpack levels are creeping into conversations about water supply. And the concern is up and down the west.

The snowpack has become an issue for not just the Northwest, but much of the west.

While not where it should be this time of year, the snowpack across Washington has improved month-over-month.

“Here in Idaho, we have a record low snowpack for this time in December, pretty much across the entire state," said Erin Whorton with NRCS.

Last week, we told you that the Washington snowpack is not looking good for early December. Is Oregon’s snowpack faring any better?

Climate scientists from Washington and Oregon are asking for your input on how your Northwest operation was impacted by weather during the 2025 water year.

According to Oregon State University, new research shows more strategic snowpack sampling could lead to better predictions of future water supply.
