About Wyoming



The snowpack conditions in Wyoming vary across different mountain ranges, influencing the state's water supply, runoff rivers, and watersheds. The Wind River Range, Absaroka Range, and the Tetons are major contributors. Snow accumulation in the mountains during winter is crucial as it slowly melts and feeds into the state's rivers and reservoirs during spring and summer. Wyoming's winter climate is characterized by cold temperatures, heavy snowfall, and strong winds. Snow science plays a vital role in understanding snowpack dynamics, avalanche forecasting, and water resource management. Wyoming has a rich history of snow science, with the first snow survey being conducted in the state in 1905. The information gathered from snow surveys helps in predicting water availability, managing flood risks, and ensuring sustainable water use across the state. Multiple sources including the Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) and the Wyoming Water Development Office (WWDO) can provide accurate and detailed information on snowpack conditions in specific mountain ranges and their impact on Wyoming's water resources.
