South Brush Creek
South Brush Creek in Wyoming is situated in the Snowy Range Mountains, which range between 10,000 and 12,000 feet in elevation. The average annual snowfall in this region is approximately 200 inches, with average peak snowpack reaching around 100 inches. The snowpack in this area is critical for maintaining the hydrology of nearby creeks, rivers, and reservoirs, including the North Platte River, which is a significant source of water for agriculture and urban areas in Wyoming and Colorado. The snowpack also supports the area's vibrant ski industry, including nearby resorts like Snowy Range Ski Area and Medicine Bow Peak. In recent years, warmer temperatures have led to earlier snowmelt, which can cause downstream flooding and reduced water availability during dry periods. The monitoring of snowpack levels in South Brush Creek and surrounding areas is crucial for managing water resources, protecting aquatic ecosystems, and ensuring the sustainability of local communities.

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 South Brush Creek
Where does the snow data for South Brush Creek come from?
Snowpack depth, SWE, snowfall, and air temperature come from the NRCS SNOTEL station 772. 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.
