Pretty dismal snowpack numbers westwide now. Not a single basin has an above median snowpack as of February 4. Missing on that plot due to the late arrival of California snowpack data is a basin in the south Sierra, but that was below median too as of February 3.

In the Wasatch, many sites are at their lowest levels since the start of the SNOTEL record, in some cases extending back more than 40 years. Every site is below the 25th percentile, meaning they are all in the lower quarter of prior snowpack water equivalent on this date.
There will be no Steenburgh winter this year.
