Snowfall improves Shoshone basin snowpack


Snowfall improves Shoshone basin snowpack




CODY, Wyo. (AP) - The recent storms, including a half-foot of snow last weekend, have improved the moisture outlook for the area.


The Shoshone River Basin snowpack measured 80 percent of normal Monday morning, so "we're making some headway there," John Julian of the Natural Resources Conservation Service said. The snowpack had been around 70 percent of normal.




"It's still not enough to break the drought, but we're well on our way to doing better" than last year, he said. "And some more good, wet storms could put us at 100 percent."




In Cody, 6 inches fell last weekend, National Weather Service volunteer Bob Bircher said. The moisture content translated to one half-inch.

Replying to:

I will be posting articles on the Yellowstone region on the discussion forum, especially AP stories reported in the Casper Star-Tribune. This paper has a lot of useful stories, especially from the Grand Teton region, but they roll their stories off every few days. I want them up much longer. This discussion forum only rolls off as it gets too large.
