Silvies
Silvies is situated in the Blue Mountains of Eastern Oregon, where the average annual snowfall reaches up to 350 inches at the highest elevations. Peak snowpack typically occurs in March, averaging around 120 inches. The nearby ski resorts of Anthony Lakes and Bluewood offer excellent opportunities for winter sports enthusiasts. The region has experienced warming temperatures and decreasing snowpack over the past few decades due to climate change. This trend has affected downstream rivers, creeks, and reservoirs, causing concerns for water supply and agriculture. The hydrology constituents within the region include the Silvies River and the Malheur River, which provide water for irrigation and serve as critical habitats for fish and wildlife. The snowpack is a vital resource for the region, and it is important to monitor its levels and trends to ensure sustainable management of these valuable resources.

Mountain & avalanche safety
- Know before you go
- Check today's avalanche bulletin from the regional avalanche center before any backcountry / side-country travel. Conditions can shift dramatically between morning and afternoon on storm days.
- Carry the gear, know how to use it
- Beacon, shovel, probe. Practice companion rescue on a calm day, not during a real burial.
- Mind the weather window
- Heavy snow + wind builds wind slabs at ridgelines. The day after a storm is often the riskiest in the backcountry.
- Read the snowpack
- A weak, faceted, or wind-loaded snowpack — like the depth and trend shown above — is exactly what feeds slab avalanches. Dig a pit or check the bulletin before committing to steep terrain.

About Silvies
Where does the snow data for Silvies come from?
Snowpack depth, SWE, snowfall, and air temperature come from the NRCS SNOTEL station 759. Forecast comes from the NOAA / yr.no feed Snoflo's iOS app uses.
How often is the report updated?
NRCS SNOTEL stations report continuously (typically hourly). Snoflo refreshes throughout the day; check the "as of" timestamp on the snowpack hero card.
What's the difference between snowpack depth and SWE?
Snowpack depth measures how tall the snow is. SWE (snow water equivalent) measures how much WATER is in that snow. SWE matters more for hydrology and ski-season prediction since dry powder packs less water than wet/spring snow at the same depth.
How is "% of normal" calculated?
Today's snowpack is compared to the historical average snowpack on this calendar day across the station's full record. 100% = right on average; 130% = a big year; 60% = a thin year.
Can I get alerts when fresh snow hits?
Yes -- snow alerts are managed in the Snoflo iOS app. Favorite this station, set a snowfall threshold (e.g. "alert me when 6+ inches"), and you'll get a push the moment NRCS reports the crossing.
