The Rocky Mountain News seems to be running a snowpack story every Saturday now. From today's installment, "Statewide snowpacks registered at 104 percent of average Friday, compared with the 99 percent mark measured at this time last year, according to the Natural Resources Conservation Service...In the Upper Colorado Basin...snowpack is a healthy 135 percent of average, while in the South Platte Basin, snowpack is measuring 129 percent of average. Those two regions are responsible for nearly all of metro Denver's annual water supplies...Southwestern Colorado, however, has little to cheer about. Basins such as the San Miguel/Dolores and the Upper Rio Grande are alarmingly dry, with early snowpacks registering just 41 percent and 31 percent of average, respectively."
