Automated Snow Pillow Commentary
UPDATED: May 15, 2012
A bi-weekly commentary of snow conditions based on readings from the BC Automated Snow Pillow (ASP) network is published during the snow season.
Snow has been melting over the past two weeks at most of the snow pillow sites. The % of average values have increased in many regions of the provinceover the past two weeks, however this is reflecting the slight delay in melt this year, rather than increases in snow water equivelant. The provincial average for snow pilows is 137% of average, up from 131% of average two weeks ago. The current range across the province is from a high of 219% on the Central Coast, to a low of 91% in the Okanagan-Kettle.
