#MountStHelens May 18, 1980, 8:32 AM. A colossal landslide. Magma & hot fluids explode, surge outward like a hot hurricane. Column rises, ash falls for miles. Snowpack melts, mudflows converge, lahars move downvalley. A 9-hr eruption. Everything is changed.

Roadtrip from Purgatory to Ouray, Colorado this past weekend. Snowpack is dwindling - but the scenery is awesome as always! Cory Reppenhagen 9NEWS Weather #cowx

Had to pop out to Canmore this morning.

The rivers are full and there is still a lot of snowpack to come down.

The reservoirs will fill up this spring.

Things may get dry later, but we can stop with all the dire water shortage warnings in Calgary now.

California's water storage is at its healthiest levels in over a decade.

Virtually every major reservoir in the state has average to above-average storage, with a substantial 115% of average snowpack still to melt.

The last two years have been an amazing reprieve from the

Pretty decent Sierra Nevada snowpack for late spring. #CAwx

There is still lots of snowpack at the highest elevations of central Colorado. The Upper Arkansas River Basin snow water equivalent (SWE) is above normal for May 21. Runoff should continue to increase as temps warm, and the seasonal runoff peak should occur in the next few weeks.

California is about to have its largest snowpack in recorded history with another atmospheric river arriving tomorrow expected to bring 2-4 feet more snow.

This is an unscientific visual look at the Mountain 🏔️ from Tacoma.

Mid-May snowpack on Tahoma looks a little low, but similar to 2021 and 2023.

The snowpack in BC was very low this past winter everywhere, well, except for the Yukon drainage basin in the far north where it was average.

April CDM:
April was warmer than usual, especially in Northern Canada and the Prairie Region. Despite the rain, long-term deficits and low snowpack continue in Western Canada. Extreme to exceptional drought persists in Alberta and BC, with severe drought across much of the West.

Otherworldly scenes in the Cairngorms at present. This under-snow photo is from Beinn a’ Bhuird (ben board), with the scalloped ablation hollows showing well.

Snow is composed of many ice crystals that scatter light in various directions. When sunlight enters the snowpack, it

Some takeaways here. The FED is planning to lower #lakemead 11 feet this year, and this comes after a slightly above average snowpack year for the upper colorado water basin. What you see here is the priority of sending water to California and Arizona to grow crops in the desert

More snow in the Month of May in the Italian Alps.

...'Snowfall at the beginning of the month on May 7, brought the thickness of the snowpack at Passo del Moro (Monte Rosa group) to 398 cm

The new seasonal limit exceeds 392 cm on April 27, 2019.

I took a little ride through the Hope Valley on Sunday. So pretty up there, just west of Markleeville. Lots of snowpack way up high above 8,000 feet. West Fork of the Carson River flowing fast with all of the snowmelt. Beautiful country for sure! mynews4.com/chimein

The snowpack along the Northern Front Range of Colorado is looking strong for early May.

Miles and miles and miles of clear sky this morning from the top of Pikes. Definitely going to get a good bit of melting of the treeline-and-up snowpack today!
