Early snowpack is 125% of normal, according to the Rocky Mountain News [November 4, 2004, "If you get snow expert's drift, early storms a reason for hope"]. From the article, "Snowpacks are measured across eight of the major river basins in the state. Two that are critical to Front Range water supplies - the South Platte Basin and the Colorado River Basin - had snowpack readings this week of 107 percent of average...Denver Water's reservoirs are 75 percent full, about 10 percent below normal. The utility serves 1.2 million customers in the metro area. Colorado's mountains have seen below-average snows for the past seven years. Since 2002, cities up and down the Front Range have imposed watering restrictions and charged customers extra for high water use."
