Mountain snowpack is a crucial source of water for many regions in the US.
The snow that accumulates on the mountains during winter acts as a natural reservoir, slowly releasing water as it melts during spring and summer. Understanding snowpack dynamics is essential for managing water resources sustainably, predicting water availability, and mitigating the risk of floods and droughts. Some notable mountain ranges with significant snowpack include the Rocky Mountains, Sierra Nevada, and Cascade Range.
More snow forecasted this week with Shell Creek in Wyoming expecting 10" of more snow in the next 72 hours, with showers likely and breezy today.
