Sam,

If you go into SNOWTEL and look at the data tables [7-day hourly and/or 30-day Data Reports], you can often find snow depth values which are more up to date than what's reported on the graphics map or approximate a value when it reports "observation missing." It seems there are often glitches in their software which don't update the data tables to the graphics map, unless the most recent values are grabbed.

An example: The latest Quamazon report was from 5" on 12-28. The water equivalent was 3.6". Today, 12-31, the water equivalent is up to 3.8 but there is no value for the snow depth. The depth can be extrapolated. There are also discrepancies between the 7 and 30-day values. We both know the 7-day table value of 150" reported for Quamazon for Christmas Day is bogus. Maybe that was a cruel joke, as a lump of coal, from the USDA. Anyhow...

Happy New Year,

-Barry
