Manual measurements of snow depth and snow water equivalent data are collected using snow sampling tubes at survey sites across the province. Measurements are taken up to eight times per year, providing a record of snow packs across the province. The manual snow survey data and automated snow survey data together provide information used in forecasting stream flows, flood risk and water supplies. More information on the Manual Snow Survey network can be found here.
The table below provides links for each active and inactive manual snow survey station site to historical data tables of samples, interactive SWE plots, and the Real-Time Data Portal. Columns can be searched, filtered, and sorted.
