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.

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.”
