I think the next report will be issued in a week or 2. January was a relatively dry month.

The sky is falling. The sky is falling.
Don't worry. JT will still increase the carbon tax again this spring. Every time he increases it, the weather and climate should improve a little more.

Just measured 13" on my car here in Wilson Creek and I'm only 1/4 mile from the ocean.

It's not the sky it's just snow. I'd of thought you heard JT will be out as PM by March 10th. You will feel heart sick & lost for a week or so but back to normal soon after.

two inches here. Most of the snow has fallen on the East Coast of the Island south of Nanaimo

It’s a curious combination (that I don’t understand, yet) of topography and weather patterns that causes the little Skagit basin to have significantly lower snowfall than the two basins (Similkameen and Lower Fraser) that surround it.

our region is well known for its micro-climates.

Latest report as of March 1st is available.

 https://www2.gov.bc.ca/assets/gov/environment/air-land-water/water/river-forecast/2025_mar1.pdf

Brief Provincial summary is at 73% of average so generally around 70%. The Skagit watershed is at 27% which is not good. Higher than last year which was 66%.

Low probability of serious flooding during the coming spring freshet.

March 1st reports are already irrelevant. I'm hearing that in the last week or so that some of the coastal ranges have added 5-8 feet of snow above 4000 feet.

Speaking of irrelevant

you realize that the % of average are relative to the time of year and not the total?

As I have mentioned a number of times the most important part of the snowpack is that portion established in the first half of the season.

Snow water equivalent works the same in Dec as it does in April. The only thing that they care about is how much snow water is at the measurement site.
