Bulletins and Reports

The Snow Survey and Water Supply Bulletin is produced 8 times a year for the survey periods ending: January 1, February 1, March 1, April 1, May 1, May 15, June 1, and June 15. To allow for sufficient time for data collection and analysis, the bulletin is published about 7 days after the survey period ends. This bulletin reports on the snow data for each survey, and provides a commentary on the flood risk and water supply outlook leading into the freshet and summer season.
