A2 THE DAILY ASTORIAN • FRIDAY, JANUARY 11, 2019 Oregon snowpack fails again to reach normal standard ter equivalent in the moun- tains is 72 percent of nor- mal, with the number lower in western Oregon, the Statesman Journal reported Thursday. The state has reached a normal snowpack level only in four of the last 10 years, according to the fed- eral data. Associated Press SALEM — Oregon’s snowpack is below nor- mal again and data shows the state is reaching his- torically normal levels less often. The Natural Resources Conservation Service shows the state’s snow-wa- “It’s pretty clear that the idea of what’s normal is shifting, and that we’ve just become accustomed to these bad or below average years,” said Kathie Dello, a climate scientist with Oregon State University. “That’s particularly true in years where people are still able to go skiing — we just don’t notice it as much.” Lower elevations in western Oregon had meager snowfall, largely account- ing for the state’s low snow- pack. Snow in the Cascade Range at about 5,000 feet is doing OK, but it sharply drops off below that eleva- tion, said Scott Oviett, snow survey hydrologist for the Natural Resources Conser- vation Service. “While we might be seeing snow at 5,000 feet, places below that are see- ing more rain than snow,” Oviett said. The normal snowpack standard is based on his- torical data from 1981 to 2010. The standard will be updated in 2020 to take into account data over the prior decade. The update should be an interesting moment, Ovi- ett said, because “the warm temperatures and early melt-outs and prolonged dry stretches are very dif- ferent from what we’ve seen historically.” Ian Scot Monroe Vicki Ann Buckman Seaside Aug. 9, 1990 — Dec. 23, 2018 Astoria Sept. 7, 1948 — Dec. 29, 2018 Ian Scot Monroe, 28, died Dec. 23, With his beautiful smile and sparkling 2018, at Oregon Health and Science Uni- eyes, he would say, “Has anyone told you versity after suffering critical brain damage today how beautiful you are?” and would from a tragic accident. never say goodbye without saying “I love Ian was born Aug. 9, 1990, in Las you.” His contagious laughter, joy and love Vegas, Nevada.
