[NMCCSC] SNOTEL Snow Report / 1-12-24

[Barry Ritchey]

Snow report from SNOTEL sites around the Southwest. Friday, January 12,
2024.

These numbers are more aligned with what a plunged ski pole might measure,
compared to a magic snowdrift at a ski area. Most NM mountains have a
snowpack well over 100% of normal, with SW Colorado mountains still below
normal. But who knows what the new normal is…

Inches of snowpack today, Jan 12, and a week ago.

Sandias – No SNOTEL sensor, but it’s good to excellent. But will they ever
plow the road?

Santa Fe – 44”, up from 32” a week ago.

Jemez (Quemazon) – 30” up from 21”

Hopewell Lake – 31” up from 23” (Check NMRoads before driving up. US64 is
prone to closings.)

Cumbress/Chama – 48” doubled from 24”

Wolf Creek Pass – 59” up from 32”

Red Mtn. Pass – 38” up from 28”

Let it snow,

Ritchey, Tele Ranger
