Staff reports show low snow-water-equivalent despite recent precipitation

Travis provided a brief hydrologic update for the council, reporting that overall precipitation sits near 80% but the snow-water equivalent in the mountains is low — "we're at 17% for snow water equivalent," he said — and that a recent storm delivered snowfall that largely melted within days. The briefing noted four inches of snow at 9,000 feet and cautioned that while some storms boosted totals, melt and rain have reduced snowpack much of the season.
